Breed of these babies...

[wolfinator]

So my boyfriend's grandson talked us into caring for a pair of ducklings he wanted at Rural King a few days ago. He actually lives in another state and isn't zoned for poultry. He's planning on moving about 3/4 miles up the road so he's getting a jump on acquiring some ducks for the pond that'll be dug later, after the home is built. I was buying 6 Jersey Giants so I helped him pick a pair out. He was partial to these 2 babies. I asked the employee if they were Rouen's or Mallard's but they weren't sure. I'm also hoping for females but my gut is now saying 1 if each..

They're about 5-8 days old in the photos. 1 is a lot bigger than the other one.

Thanks

They look like rouens!!
(I agree, no. 1 seems like a male since he is bigger)
