Identification needed

[Gimmeaduck]

I have two baby ducklings but do not know their breed. Can anyone tell me what their breed is?

Looks like Mallards or Rouens.

If a mallard, will they not be able to fly away?

To an extent, yes. You may have to clip their wings when they are older. Where did you get them?

I bought them at TSC but they did not actually know what they are. Maybe it is the hired help they get, but I think unless they are in a tank with a name on a picture the employees really have no idea what they are.

Rouens if you got them at TSC

Thank you for helping me to identify them.

TSC could have either mallards or rouen. I believe the Rouens have the double eye stripe. They are also a meat duck and will be larger than mallards.

Mallards have one eye stripe. Sure are precious little ones.

I always thought mallards were migratory. If so then they will fly away someday and go someplace else. Thats mean to not tell me what they are when I buy them. But I am in love with them now.
