She is soooo cool! She is also part of the backyard chickens family! Tell her that you heard about her from here! Silas has a doggie bed and sleeps with my husband and I!

Our two mallards live on the sunporch and want to come in the house so bad but they poop too much! I need diapers for them!!!

It is worth every penny! I plan on getting 4 when he is fully grown. They are washable, I hand wash it (and clean it some times 2 or 3 times a day).

I have a quick question how big dose a mallard get when fully grown and at what age is a mallard fully grown? Silas is almost 3 months old and seams small.

mine are always defintly full grow by 6 months at 8 months mine are usually sexually mature

mine get to about 3 to 4 pounds as for the actual height and width they get that depends on the duck

I can't believe I though my Mallards were Rouens. Now that I have other ducks, I can see how small they really are. Abba is 3 times their size, easily.

They're still laying eggs like crazy for me, though. Peek still lays an egg a day, faithfully. She's missed a couple of eggs in the past 4 months, but that's it... and most of that was the stress of the new ducks moving in.


Little Peek and Poke standing next to Harley... and she's the smallest out of the new ducks. Plus she's only 10 (11?) weeks old.


Here's little Peek next to Pepper. She's SO much littler than Pepper and Abba.

Mallards are 36-40 ounces and are considered a bantam duck.

I'll ask here... Are there white mallards? Having boatloads of trouble identifying one of my girls. At first we thought call, but she doesn't meet any of the qualifications. Then I saw a headline here for white mallards. It's my avatar. Fully flighted, small but not squat, slender, light blue eggs (chicken sized) talkative when motivated.
