Anyone wanna take a guess on mine? Im so confused if I have Mallards or Rouens and I think I'm driving my husband crazy now going back and forth between the two possibilities and then I am making it harder not knowing the sex!
Our mallards were excellent layers but often wanted me do Easter egg hunt!How are Mallards for laying eggs?
we have had two sets of Mallards, one last summer and the ones I ordered this March. Different hatcherys have different ways of identifying them but because it’s illegal to take wild mallard eggs and incubate they mark “domestic mallard “ often by clipping a back toe on one leg. Both sets of my mallards were marked this way. Also, I noticed long before male sounds, male colors, and tail curls were evident my males alll had dark feathers behind their wings over the tail. Hens all had the lacy brown feathers.
Mallards are really small almost like bantam ducks
