    Rouen Duck thread

    I forgot to add that I know I have heard at least one of them quacking, but it's quiet and throaty. I think I heard that the drakes do quack, it's just not a very good one. Or do only the hens quack??

    We just got two Rouen ducks from the feed store last week. They look the same, one is a little smaller then the other, but that could be due to a different hatch date. Is there any way to tell if they are male or female at this age? I'm sure they are no more than two weeks old, and still haven't...
