Help me identify these ducks!

[LuvSprinkles]

Hello,

I’m new to this website as well as to ducks! I got three from tractor supply and I’m not quite sure what kind of duck they are. I’m guessing either mallards or rouens. I’m not quite sure of their age as tractor supply didn’t know their hatch date, but I’ve had them for about 3 1/2 weeks. Any guesses? Also, any guesses in their gender? I’m a bit worried I have two males and one female- thinking of getting a few more females once I know for sure. Thank you for your help!

Welcome to BYC and congrats on your ducklings! They look like Rouens to me. @MGG has Mallards, so maybe she can help.

Welcome! So many with similar questions. I'm glad my local feed store doesn't have ducklings, I'd have to move out of my home!

Welcome to BYC! They are indeed Rouens. Beautiful birds! You can sex them by their voice, females will quack and drakes will make a raspy sound.

Thanks! One is for sure quacking, I’m hopefully at least one more turns out to be a female though!
