Hello all,
We have 12 ducklings that we purchased from Tractor Supply and the folks there have no idea if they are selling Rouens or Mallards. Maybe somebody here knows if all mallard chicks are marked in some way at the hatchery to comply with federal wildlife laws. I know the hatcheries we usually use mark all mallards by toe clipping (back right toe) or banding but the TSC folks aren't helping with any information on this.
Thanks for any help you can give us.
