Someone brought it to the feed store, and the feed store is not allowed to sell Mallards, so I volunteered to take it.

Oh okay.

Here are some pictures of my two females, 13 weeks old compared to my largest black rooster and my Rhode Island Red rooster, all born same day. Is there a chance I might have mallards and not mixes looking at the size comparison? They fly really well and do a few laps around the yard each day. But come right back and play in the pool. I know earlier it was mentioned I may have mallard Rouen mix, but a wild male and female mallard have been coming in our yard and they aren't much different from the size of them, so I'm checking again.

Thank you, still not sure if they are mixes or full mallard, but very friendly and will lay down by you in the shade, all are free range and only locked up at night.

Hi, at what age do Mallards start laying?

Julie and her 9 babies in the pool



They are so big already!



Zorro with some of her babies



She has 5 brown and 5 black ducklings, not sure how that happened



Winnie is a big boy now. He already has a white collar because he is fancy like that. Minni Me and Ultra Zorro in the background. @Julie Bird
