Mallard or Rouen?



Ok, this is a pic from yesterday evening. You can see how they're both changing, just at different rates. I think I even see the beginning of the white neck ring on Bullwinkle, actually. And he's still much larger than Rocky, always has been. I really am going to weigh them when I get home - I can't believe it never occurred to me to do that before.
I loved watching my Mallard drakes change colors! Each day they had a little more green. Or gray :) I love the picture when they are fully feathered
 
firstly the two ducks at the top are an immature rouen hence no keel as of yet and the smaller one a mallard. I think the rouen may be a rouen claire due to a smaller body and I keep mallards so I know that is a mallard. For the second post the white bird is not a pekin but a pekin based hybrid which is largertan a pure bred pekin so they are rouens.
