Does the brown membrane look ok?

[annaagarland]

Aright here is a photo of Pippin and also a photo of Pippin and Puddles together. Could they both be Rouen? Puddles pooped again and it looked a little runny this time. He’s still pretty tired but still doing pretty good! And actually doing even better now that he is with Pippin.

Other than very cute, I don't know what they are. But you could ask the folks in the ducks forum:

Thank you. However both of my ducklings have now hatched on their own

Fantastic…

Pippin is the correct color and markings for Rouen/mallard. Puddles is not.

I think consensus was LEAVE IT ALONE!!! let nature do it’s thing.

Thank you very much for your unneeded input.

Pippin and puddles are doing good! I let them play in the water table when my two year old is about so that there is not chance they will be squished

Thank you. I thought so too. These are the ducks from which they came from..

This baby had been going at it all morning. It is yawning and chewing some still. That means it’s still absorbing right? My question is does the brown colored membrane look ok? He does look very wet.

I would wet it first with plain water, then clip it with very sharp nail scissors that have been disenffected. much like the hen would do.
