New duck owner!! Please help identify my breeds

[BarneyChick97]

Well, those yellow ducklings look like Pekin's to me. The others look like they have Rouen in them, but our little Rouen's had black bills. I can't remember what color feet they had when they were that young, but they are orange now, with black shadowing. So maybe a mix?

Maybe. I'm leaning towards Rouen too since thats one of the breeds the lady had that sold me my hatching eggs. I still love them and since none of my hatchlings were Pekins ( and I SOOO wanted Pekins!) I got myself a couple at the feed store.
Later I also added a Khaki to keep my sickly tiny Tina company and added SaveA Chick. They are inseparable now and scream bloody murder when I only take one out. Lol

So my little guys/gals have developed quite a bit. I hope to have their house and run finished this weekend. I currently leave them in their makeshift run durring the day and put them in their old brooder at night. That won't last much longer as it is far too small for them. So here are a few updated photos from tonight.

Lat but not least is the duck house in building. Used 100% harvested pallet wood from my morning gig. It has a swing open side door for easy cleaning. A little window that is screened with hardware cloth. The door is not cut yet,but I plan to rig up something special for them.

He does look like he's feathering out like a Rouen I'm just not sure where that white ring came from.. the male rouens get one but not until later and not that big hmmm.. I'm still unsure about the other one.

In the process of buildings one out of pallets too! What r the dimensions of urs? Still trying to figure out how to make the cleaning door but the ducky door/ramp is done already. Lol

Not sure exactly but it's around 42x60ish. The clean out door was a bit tricky to frame. Having an extra set of hands would have helped. 2 is not enough. Nail gun in one and holding 3 pcs of wood in the other was pretty fun. I think I used an elbow and my foot to tack in place. I should have the entrance door and the last side finished tomorrow. I need to cement in the posts I got and attach the chickenwire. I got some deer netting to cover the top of the pen area. May not be needed. Rather safe than sorry. Crap. And I need to build a gate.

Pallet house is the only way for me. Free is about the only way I could afford to build a Simi nice looking structure. I plan on adding on another structure to hide the pond "filter" and store duck items.

One would never know I work a full time and part time job with all the other work I do. Lol. Thanks for looking.

Yea I know what u mean. Currently working 1.5 jobs too and then still gotta take care of all the birdies and doggies the "collector" (he collects ANYTHING and EVERYTHING!)has. Plus fixing his cars. So I'm kinda stuck designing and building it all by myself too.

How bout I lend u my extra set of hands then u come over to do the same for me? And of course I don't have a nail gun. Only good ol' hammer and screw gun.
