    Rouen Duck thread

    We lost our first bird, a Hen Rouen. She layed nice blue eggs. Found a pluck site right next to the neighbors pond they frequent. Close to all the feathers, some of the guts and an egg, not a single bone. Seems most likely a bird of prey. Don't know any other animal that would leave the egg...

    Well we got them when they were over a week old they were never keen on being held and we didn't push the issue as much as we should so thats why it won't let me pick it up, but its not chasing with its head down, video soon to follow.

    A little fun in the rain... The odd thing is its seems like only the one female is being mated as well as encouraging it with the head bobbing, the other female isn't seeing any action. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

    We just used an electrolyte powder that had niacin from TSC, probably not the recommended dose but we didn't have any problems, we started it when we got the ducks. My wife is a formulation scientist in animal pharmaceutics, so I just say ok and don't ask questions.

    They actually are looking to the sky, probably see a bird or aircraft and trying to determine if its friend or foe

    Well, now I'm a little worried, Just let the ducks out this morning and my 2nd duck's bill has started turning olive at the center, she's never quacked a lot but I have heard her quack... the two drakes peep for sure, they're just over two months old and they seem to be starting to molt as well.

    Rouen Duck thread

    I'm excited to see them grow, eventually they'll free range and have access to the pond/marsh. With 2 males, 2 females, should we take a drake this fall for supper or is that a good number? My wife hopes that we won't have to butcher them, but Duck is good. Their use to be a really good Spicy...

    + Ornamental Duck - Colored like a Mallard Too Larger to Migrate Larger Compared to Mallard and still tastes like duck - Not a prolific layer IDK, I'm new to this, but it seems people are easily ignored in this thread. What are you looking for?
