We are new to ducks and can't believe how fast they grow!!! Not sure but I think that one is a male. He's ALOT bigger than the other one and I haven't gotten brave enough to try and sex them myself.

They are eating peas like crazy!! And they LOVE the bathtub!

I may be mistaken, but one looks like a Rouen and the other a Mallard.....

They both came out of the Rouen bin. Whats the difference?

Eye stripes. The mallard (a smaller breed) has one eye stripe. The Rouen (looks like a huge mallard) has two eye stripes.
If you got them from the Rouen bin.... these guys/girls will be BIG!

Wonderful. DH is getting grossed out listening to them drink water and eat. LOL!!! We have found out that they are VERY messy!!
