Guess The breed

[JamieMcClain]

Recently adopted 2 new ducks and have no idea on breed, age, or sex. I’m thinking females because I see no curl on either tail feathers? Help please!

Looks like 2 Male Rouens or Mallards, I can't tell the size. Have you voice sexed them yet? Females quack early on and males have a raspy frog like 'quack'.

they’re both sound the same so I don’t really have a comparison to tell.

The girls sound like what you believe a duck quack should be like. Looks like ruins or mallards.

both are definitely drakes (boys). and i’m 99% sure they are mallards, rouens have different facial features.

are they pets? or did you want them for eggs or breeding purposes? all my ducks are pets, and i just wanted to say you definitely don’t need females with them. that’ll just cause fighting most of the time.

they are pets. We have a male Muscovy and a female Muscovy. Plus 4 runners that are still babes. And 2 female Toulouse geese. Hoping most of the runners are girls to help even the ratio

Mallard Drakes.

you can always keep them in a seperate coop where they can see the girls but not touch them. they won’t fight each other (maybe just a little every once in awhile, but girls will too)

Don't forget, If you live in the US mallards have marking requirements to keep you out of federal prison.
