cute but that doesnt look like a rouen
it only has 1 eye stripe which means mallard

 

[Matilda hen]

well she does have a tiny one under her eye , but we assumed shes a rouen because no1 around here has mallards , but i dont know! Thankyou , maybe she is!? any other distingtive ways you could tell me? we only bought her egg the rest were positive of lol

 

[country_girl011]

it would be 2 full eye stripes if she was a rouen.
and that is a fool proof way to tell .

sounds 2 me like someone doesnt know what kind of birds they have and are selling people mallards.

did the egg have a green or blue tint to it?

 

[Matilda hen]

it had a tiny green tint to it! these my first ducklings , and i know what the rest are for definate , but wernt 100% on bella the now known mallard! thanks for that , at least now i now what they all are! thankyou! do you have rouens or mallards?

 

[country_girl011]

mallard eggs will have a green tint. and rouens will have white eggs.

and no i raise call ducks.
but i see soo many people getting confused on the 2 so i always try to help them

 

[Matilda hen]

oh tanks! heres a pic of her egg! maybe it will help , it was for a video and is the one im holding!

 

[country_girl011]

cant see much of a tint . but sometime cameras dont shw the true color
if he doesnt have 2 full eye stripes its a mallard. =)
