The duck is not a mallard duck its a crested rouen MGG said that. I was going to tell but I thought you would figure it out by the links.I’m really nervous about my ducklings. If I end up with one male and one female is that still safe with chickens around? I’m hoping for two females.
Any tips on sexing at this point? Or just have to wait it out?
American pekin and a mallard
It was sold with mallards. I did some research and it says they can get the “poof” it is just a genetic defectLooks like the crested one is actually a crested rouen duck.

Yes they will be in the same coop/run as my chickens. Which is why I’m worried if they turn out to be males. I can always separate them if I truly needed to but of course that costs more money to build another coopDo you want to house them with your chickens?
Thank you. I suppose I will be waiting it out. I had a crested mallard and pekin duck back in 2013. My mallard was a female and I suppose my pekin was too because I had never seen them mate. I was young when I had them and haven’t had any birds since and didn’t realize until I got them and was informed by a few people that mixing chickens and ducks can be dangerous if they are malesand good luck with your ducklings. A one on one situation may work, or it may not. I'd be concerned about over mating especially if the crested duckling is a hen. Two drakes in a chicken flock is a recipe for disaster. Vent sexing is the only way of telling gender at this age.
