Help identifying type?

Look, I'm sorry. Who am I to judge? I have no idea what your expressions or tone is like, so I should probably calm down lol.
I've had Mallards and Rouens, and there is a difference. Mallards often have that faded stripe, so there's a 90% chance it is a Mallard.

Lol don't worry, I need to calm down a little too. I did some editing. No hard feelings Good feed advice, by the way. Glad you caught that, I've seen some unfortunate things come of ducklings being fed the wrong food.

I say it's a Rouen, Mallard ducklings are small compared to Pekin ducklings and the duck is pretty much the same size as the Pekin.

I do own Mallards and Pekins I have seen the size difference.

Well, it is true I've never seen a Pekin before! But I've always been taught that Rouen's eye stripes are solid.
At least if it is a Rouen, you will get 120-200 eggs a year. If it's production, which is highly likely.

Oh sorry didn't see those two posts.

Me too they could be different ages.

They could be different ages, but I was told they're both about a month old. I'll try to take a better picture for you guys tomorrow of the eye stripe/stripes, I honestly can't remember if theres 1 + a partial or if its just a dot and everybodies all tucked in for bed now

Yes, see these were my Rouens at 5 weeks. Very prominent double eye stripe.

Interesting. I wonder if I have pictures of mine from that age? I no longer have them, but I could swear they didn't have eye striping that prominent. Then again, they were just hatchery stock, and as we all know they don't exactly breed to the standards, lol.

Lol, maybe at this point it would be easier to just ask the breeder

Well, these were from a local lady! She had one Saxony hen that died, a Runner mix duckling (so some Runners), and Rouens. I think Red is a Runner-Rouen cross, and the greys must be Saxony-Rouen cross, since their body type is so Saxony like! I have no idea why their striping is so prominent though. She definitely doesn't focus on breeding according to the SoP.
