Duckling identification

You'll never be alone when you have animals.

No but unfortunately they do not make my house payment like Hubby does. LOL

Yes you are right, the back claw is removed and does not grow back as to identify them as a domestic Mallard and not a wild one. They are quite a bit smaller and the hens are very chatty. I have both Mallards and Rouen Ducks and my Mallard/Rouen Drake will mate with anything in the pen that will have him. lol

That was my understanding the removing was to identify domestic from wild. I figured that it wouldn't grow back, but wasn't certain, thank you for clearing that up!
