Hey Y’all!
I️ picked up 6 hatchery choice ducks from a local feed store yesterday. They said that the feeder hatchery is Ideal Poultry. I️ was hoping to get some help with breeds.
Thank you in advance!

1. White Crested (99% sure)

6. Mallard/Rouen? (This one is super tiny next to the rest, so I’m leaning towards Mallard)

Awesome thanks! For the mallard/Rouen is there any chance I️ can differentiate between the 2 breeds? Same question for the Cayuga/black Runner.
I think Rouens have two stripes across the face, and Mallards have one. I really do think you have a Mallard. Not sure about the Cayuga/Black Runner, sorry.

Ok thanks! I️ let my ducks free range the back yard, so that might be a problem. Guess I’ll have to keep wings clipped!
 
You still have a few months until they get their wings.

Do you let the ducklings free range?
No, not unless they have a mom and even then I️ always keep them in a separate small pen. I️ currently have them in a rabbit cage with a brooder heater. In a couple weeks I’ll move them outside and eventually they’ll get put in my aviary until I️ can keep them in the shed with the shed with the other birds.

Good luck with them!
