I need some help IDing some ducks. Long story short, I’ve been asked to adopt some ducks that have been living at a now abandoned restaurant area. The owners don’t know what kind they are but they’ve sent me some photos. There are two females and a male. My best guess is Rouen or Mallard but I could use some extra opinions from more knowledgeable people. They’re about 5 years old. Thanks for the help!

I was worried they may be Mallards. Isn’t it illegal to own/keep them in the USA?

No. There are domestic mallards that people have all of the time. What is illegal would be to trap wild mallards and keep them as domestic pets. I doubt these are wild.
 
All I know is that they were hatched at this location and have been here for years. I just want to be sure it’s all ok
