Rouen duckling, but for the life of me I can't tell which; the other is just as confusing for me. I would appreciate the help, thanks. Ps. This was taken about two weeks ago, on March 31

Did you find them or buy them? What age? I too, would suggest you post on the "Duck thread," I really don't know much about ducks.

I did my research and know how to raise ducks but I was wanting to know the if anyone could help me identify their breeds. I know the yellow with brown stripping is a crested Mallard/Rouen duckling, but for the life of me I can't tell which; the other is just as confusing for me. I would appreciate the help, thanks. Ps.

A better photo may help. I can't see the one in back. But the front duckling appears to either be a mallard or Rouen. Does it have one stripe or two on its face? If it's got one over the eye and a complete stripe under, I'd say Rouen. If not, Mallard. My best guess.

Sorry, I don't have a better picture. It's late where I'm at and they don't like being handled. However, the one in the back is blackish grey and has a yellow stomach
