Where did you get them from? Your rouen could be a possible mix if you got them from someone or if you got them from a hatchery or feed store it could just be bad genetics that would cause it to have that white ring. It's a pretty think ring from what I can see and I remember on my male the ring...

Whew! That took awhile to go through and read everything.. Sorry I haven't been on much to put in input but seems that everyone has helped each other out and helped each other get the answers they need. It's nice to see everyone's ducky pics!

He was probably defending his territory. Any time other males are introduced to an already established flock the males will fight to establish dominance. Also if his lady is sitting on eggs that may be why also. Some drakes don't care if there lady(s) is sitting on eggs while on the other hand...

Yes technically it's not a crime to hit a dog, deer, cat, duck, goose, turkey, or whatever else if you were to call it in to get an accident report so you can claim it through your insurance your going to get a ticket no matter what. The cops will ticket you for something.

Just put down whatever it is that you are brooding them on now. If your using something that you couldn't put outside like old sheets or towels then i'd suggest either hay or pine shavings. I'd be careful about the kiddie pool especially if they have access to it when your not around. If they...

Omg that's terrible. At least that other car stopped. If I was the car behind them I would of gotten there license plate number and called the cops on them for leaving the scene of a crime. The good news is that ducks are very hardy and are amazing at recovering from things. How's Phillip doing...

That's great that he's eating and drinking. He is indeed very special. Since his beak is fractured i'd start putting some apple cider vinegar in his water to help keep it clean from bacteria.

Oh my! Prayers for Philip. I hope he has a good recovery? How are his wounds? If he has open wounds that could get dirty i'd keep him in a smaller confined area so that he can heal and wont get dirt in his wounds.

You never know it's kind of a chance thing. If you try hatching and you end up having lots of babies die before they hatch or after. Or if you end up having defects with ducklings then you should add ducks from different lines into your group. But mostly that doesn't happen. Hatcheries hatch...

Ducks can breed mother to son and father to daughter but can't breed brother to sister.

Adorable!!

aww they are adorable! Congrats!

Ok I wasn't sure if you just set him there for pics or not. I'd give him so more vitamins/electrolytes. I've had some runners that sit more than my other ducks did so I added electrolytes and the problem went away. I used nutri drench which I got from my local tractor supply. Maybe it was a...

The dark one is a deff Rouen because the bottom stripe is only slightly broken up. Although Rouens normally have 2 eye stripes they can have 1 solid line and one that is broken up. I went back through and looked at the pictures and I'm thinking it might be a Runner. I went through my runner's...

I agree with that looking at the pics. It almost looks like there's lines on her face near her eye which would rule out pekin. Where'd you get her from if you don't mind me asking.

She looks like a pekin to me. Runners stand almost straight up and down where this duckling here is more parallel to the ground.

No them little differences mean nothing right now. But since they are about a month old then you should be hearing differences in their voices like you said you are. It sounds like you might have a boy and girl if one is a bit more quieter than the other one. But that's not a guarantee just yet...

There is nothing wrong with your "Rouen" Duck because this is a runner duck for sure. I have a couple of them. That's why it stands so funny. I'm not sure about the walking part unless it's walking on them boards in the pictures all the time that might be the issue. But this is a Runner duck for...

That's hard to say. I'm gonna go with they might but eventually one day they won't and then you will start to lose them to predators. You can train them to come in at night and all that but usually what happens is one night they won't come back and then they are out on the water all night and...

At only four weeks old there really sure answer by color. Any green that you see on the ducklings heads doesn't mean it is a male. I know when my Rouens were babies I thought for sure that's what it meant but it turned out that even my girls had green on there heads until they were older. In...
