T They definitely appear to be Rouens. As for the sex, you may have to wait until their voices change more or their colors change. Waiting is so hard!

One of my Rouen ducklings is starting to get a white ring around its neck. Safe to assume it's a boy or is it a phase they go through? I'm so anxious to know what all eight of them are!

I purchased my Rouen pair about two months ago from someone who didn't socialize with them. They were 8 months old when I brought them home. At their old home them were confined to an 8x8 dog kennel. Here, we have built them a nice coop that is fenced in. We have a large pond and I let them free...

My ducklings have these patches, too. I figured it was feathers growing in. Good to know and read this!

I just ordered the powder form online

Looks like a Pekin to me :) Imprint?

Try sprinkling some brewers yeast on its food. Ducklings grow fast and sometimes need the extra health support. Possibly a niacin deficiency as well.

This proves to be a problem for me as well. Darn ducks never want to leave the pond. For awhile I could coach them out with peas, but they soon caught onto my ways. It takes me over an hour to get them in at night!

What What a cute baby! I'd say it's a Mallard or Rouen.

I started out a few months ago with a Rouen drake and hen. They're spoiled rotten and they know it! Last week I brought home 8 ducklings - 4 Rouen and 4 Pekin. They are currently occupying our bathtub, but I'm calling it their condo :)

Steuben county :)

Yes it is! She/he was searching for a mealworm treat :)
