I have 2 Drake 7 month old Rouens who are hand raised and very tame but need a new home. They have been diapered and indoors in the evenings and are quite used to the routine. If you are in the area contact me.

They eat Nutrena brand all Flock Pellets and what ever they dig up out of the sand. We are located in Central Florida and the temps now are in the 80's. They always have fresh water available and a small pool, which I don't understand why they choose it most of the time. they are in the pen in...

my 2 rouens are 5 months old and their beaks are peeling or shedding . Is this normal?

I have 2- 5 mo old rouens and they seem healthy but I noticed their beaks are peeling a fine layer off. is this nornal? they do dig around in sand for soil. Thanks for any info

It's official.........I have 2 boys.......Yay, they got a new outdoor kennel today, but still come in to sleep in the shower at night. still waiting for the tail curled feather, but at 10.5 wks its a go.

Thanks for the info, about the time I think one is darker than the others then they both look the same. one is starting to get the grey/ white feather tips. At what age are they fully grown?

I think I have one of them here. me and 2 ducks in a shower are close quarters. I'm sure hoping for 2 of the same sex.

I've just spent the last hour getting some video of voices....I think. but Now I'm too dumb to figure out how to get it here.

Does this give any clues of sex? I did a video but not a peep from either of them. will try again after work, when they are good and mad at me for draining the pool. I really appreciate all the input as I'd rather part with them then to cause any harm or distress to either.

I guess now I'm back to worrying if its one of each . Is it possible to keep one of each and put a chastity belt on or separate them at times

thanks for the sigh of relief . I'm trying to plan ahead for the worst possibility. I thought one of each would be the worst but then wondered about the 2 males. I'm hoping for 2 females as I'm really getting attached to them and can't add any more to the group. How do folks only have one? I...

I have 2 - 5 wk old rouens and still not sure of the sex.......what if they are both males......will they get along? or be frustrated. they both have dk green bills and I can't tell by their voice, both are quiet and just peep. Now I worry if they will fight if it turns out to be 2 males...

Thanks so much for the quick reply. I'd read somewhere that they tend to overeat the grit so wasn't leaving it down, just hand feeding it occasionally to monitor intake. Am I correct in thinking that they get grit from the sand in the soil? we are in Fl. so sand is available. I'm just now...

I have 2- 5 wk old rouen ducks and bring them in to stay in the shower (bed) at night. I leave food and water available at all times. wonder if it would be ok to keep food out. in hopes of lessening the gifts on paper in the morning. Also should grit be available and how much is too much for...

Hi, my name is Ceil and I keep returning to this site for helpful information. Hope ducks are allowed too. This is Doodles and Dandy and they are 4 wks old. They have become my new best friends.The diapers are only in the test mode for a few hrs at night. Day time they have a resort like area...
