Duck ID please
I have this male that I am trying to identify breed. When he molts he does not have the stripes on his face like a Rouen or mallard. He also does not have blue on his wings. He is small in size compared to the Rouen that we do have. Thanks for any help!- ThePurpleMoose

I’m usually correct when vent sexing goslings but I have zero percent accuracy with vent sexing ducklings so I knew I probably was wrong with Bramble but Bramble appeared to be a female at first.
