    Female or male mallard?

    Yes my ducks sleep in the coop with the chickens. During the day they all free range but the ducks mostly hang out with the chickens. Guess they will be going then unless hubby wants to build them a separate house and run. I do not want them hurting a hen.

    what breed of bantam is this?

    They are four weeks old. I guess I will wait another month or so and see how they are looking then. I think they are mutts. None of them have the exact same coloring, and that little roo is alot more white than the rest. Also, some of them are getting a reddish feathering on the chest and some...

    Female or male mallard?

    They both turned out to be boys. I am worried without a female they might cause some trouble, so I will be rehoming them. I think getting him a female would make him happy.

    Can anyone tell me what breed they are? The person I got them from said they were speckled bantams. But I was wondering what specific breed they were.
