rouen

I know some breeds of ducks can be sexed for a short period after birth because males and females get different beak colors. I have some rouens hatching in some time and I was wondering if rouens have that quirk too? It would make my life a lot easier lol

I have a Rouen duckling that was given to me, they are 2 weeks old. Over the past few days they have started to make this short high pitched whistle. Sometimes they’ll do two whistles in a row but it’s mostly just once. Does the whistling mean they’re a male? Or do both male and female Rouens...

Hello everyone! I have been enjoying the group by searching the threads and reading everyone’s posts! My Mother’s Day ducks I’m guessing are around 7/8 weeks old. I have been trying to figure out their genders by their voices, I think the two Khaki Campbells are ducks and I think I have 2/3...

Good Morning! This is the first time we decided to hatch our own ducklings from our eggs collected from our ducks! However, I have two drakes. So I’m not positive what mix I ended up with! They’re adorable either way just curious what y’all think!? I have a male khaki Campbell and Blue...

We got to pick up our ducklings from the post office this morning. I was thrilled to find all happy, noisy, spring-loaded babies when we opened the box. We ordered from a hatchery and it looks like the babies were packaged with great care. We ordered 5 anconas and 2 cayugas and received 6...

I have a duck that now is full grown and was thought to be a Rouen. He has Black to very dark brown head, white collar but has black not blue stripe like Rouen. Any idea what kind of duck I have? As you can see, the regular Rouen has green head. He's getting large like a Rouen also

I am hoping some of you out there that have raised quite a few ducks male and female can help. At this point unless this is a female I have only had drakes. Now I know once adult what a male sounds like, and I’ve heard on the internet what an adult female is supposed to sound like. However...

I recently got 2 young female rouen ducks along with 1 female pekin. Ever since I’ve got them the rouens bully on the pekin. What could I do? I’ve tried separating the mean ones from the pekin etc. any advice will help! Thanks!!

So i have had this Rouen for about 8 years. As healthy as a horse, but for the past couple of weeks he’s been noticeably becoming more unhealthy. He seems more week, his feathers are scruffed, he seems to be gaining weight, and is far less mobile. Any ideas on what it could be and how to handle...

I have 4 Rouen mix ducklings for sale for $6.00 each or all 4 for $20. They are 1 week old.

Hi have 4 Rouen mix ducklings for sale for $6.00 each. They hatched June 20th

I am pretty sure we have two drakes on our hands. They are 8 weeks and still all brown, but their bills are lighter and I saw some green color on the top of their heads when in the sunlight. Anyway, can I keep them together or will i have to separate them at some point? Also, they have been with...

First photo of ducklings in blue pool: I’m picking up these two cuties tomorrow to go with my 4.5 week old saxony, Rouen, and mystery ducks! I’m thinking the brownish one may be a khaki Campbell and not sure on the black one? Can someone help me ID? Other photos: I have posted pics of my...

Hi, I have had ducks for a few years now. My female Rouen I have had is part of my original flock (4 years). On Sunday I noticed she had a broken/sprained wing as it was hanging down, I caught her and examined it, she didn’t have any visible break but she also didn’t have any strength in it so I...

Everything I've read has told me that my black babies are blue Swedish ducks (I was hoping for Cayugas) & that my tan babies are Welsh Harlequins. What do you think? 😫 I'm so anxious to know what breeds these babies are so I can build an enclosure that is suited to house them! Ps, I do know...

Which ones do you think are drakes?

Someone posted the picture below on Reddit, asking if they should try to catch the Pekin in the photo, as it is clearly not going to fare well in the wild. The obviously answer is yes, but I’m questioning the drake in the background. If the white one is truly a Pekin, that would make the other...

Hello everyone. I have 3 beautiful ducks who I got when they were around a week old. A pekin,rouen and black swedish. My pekin and black swedish are one or two days older and started to quack but my rouen still hasn't started to quack. She also has one wing drooping down which I think is called...
