Oh that stinks. My favorite mallard flew away when I didn't have a top over my run so I understand. I only have one drake right now and then the rouens but I'm thinking of getting more mallards soon.
Pretty drakes but its hard to tell. Could you try and post pics where they are standing up maybe next to something else or with someone holding one? Thanks. They do somewhat look like mallards though but it could go either way. Also if they can fly really good they are mallards but if they...
Hi I haven't been on this thread for a while! ;) My mallard is doing good but about two months ago his best friend was killed. :( now he's not getting along very well with my two rouens and they tend to pick on him. I was planning on getting some ladies to help settle them down but I'm not ready...
Dancinbaer I saw your pictures and I thought at first glance that they looked like rouens. Maybe they are a cross but they are still adorable :). I have three rouens and one mallard, the rouens can get like 2 feet off the ground for a very small distance and my mallard can fly really good when...
I know drake has been gone for almost a year and I hope he found a mate and is happy! I always hope he'll come back with his mate just to say hello. Because he's out there I've stopped duck hunting but my brother won't. It makes me sick now whenever he kills one. Hey who knows, maybe both of...
When I had two mallards the bigger one, my favorite, flew away. :( his name was drake and my other one is josh. Josh wouldn't fly away so that's how I ended up with my Rouens. I wonder how drake is doing all the time now. I hope he's doing amazing! :)
How old is he/she again? I thought my drakes were girls but then it turned out they were boys. It took forever for their colors to come in. Also see if you can get him (or her) to quack and if its sounds sort of raspy like that would make him a he. But if its very clear then a female. Sometimes...
I'm so happy none of our animals got hurt though! My neighbors wolf hound chased those dumb coyotes off. That dog is huge!!! From now on I'm gonna keep a watchful eye out there. :/
How is your mallard?
My boy is good, a little freaked out because a pair of coyotes decided to stop by. :hide
They didnt kill anything just gave all my neighbors and all my animals a good scare. They looked pretty skinny and must be desperate because I never see them during the day. I can always hear them at night...
I don't have the crested mallards but I do have a mallard drake. I think they are similar in size but I'm not sure as I'm not familiar with the crested mallards. I have all drakes, one mallard and three rouen and they only sort of fight in their pool. Its not kill eachother fighting, they just...
Well it might be a drake just look really close on its head and see if you can see the grean coloring coming in yet or the white ring. It might take a while before you start noticing it though. Also if it has a raspy kind of quack its a drake and if it has a clearer quack its a hen. I think the...
I'm sure that there isn't a difference, I'm not very good with breeds. I was just confused about the different colorings some people were showing. Like the blue fawn mallard and snowy mallard or something, sorry to confuse you. :D i think that those are just mixed breeds though.
