I have a question about my Rouen drakes behavior....he is 3 months old today and just starting to get his male colors in. I have noticed for the past couple of weeks that when he gets water he has this tendency to "rear up" and it sounds like push air out of his nose. He doesn't flap his wings...

So this baby was brought to me today. Apparently he was lost in the road. He is tiny! Could it be possible he was a runt and momma rejected him? I have 2 two month old Rouen ducks that hate him right now. Any suggestions on how to integrate them?Also is there any major differences raising a wild...

My babies are around 6 weeks with about 75% of their feathers in, if there is green on their heads (both have green coming in) is that for sure an indication of males?

So does green color on the head as their feathers are coming in definitely say it's a boy?

Question: my babies are getting their feathers in. I have Rouen that has a completely yellow bill already and some of the feathers that he is getting on this tail are a green/blue tint. Is that normal for a Rouen?

I guess 2 boys and 1 girl

so this started out as a bald spot on (what I think is my drake's) head...it now looks to be sprouting white fuzz/feathers.....is this normal or something I should have looked at?

Ok...is the feet turning inwards another sign?

It can be. Thank you for your help

New a raising ducklings, I have 2 seven day old Rouens. I looked at the ingredients in their commercial feed and there is niacin in their food. Do I still need to supplement the niacin?

Hello Everyone I am a new member. I have two 6 day old Rouen ducklings. My family and I are very excited to guess the sex of our babies. I understand the beak color changing about what age does this happen?
