My name is Rebecca and I'm 18. This is my first time owning ducks. I have had my two Rouen ducks since they were 4 days old and they are about 4 months old now. Their names are Caption Jack Sparrow and Elizabeth Swan. I believe to have a boy and girl because Jacks head is turning green and Elizabeth's isn't. I have a few questions. When will they start mating if I do have a boy and girl? What is the best kind of shelter for them? How do I keep their little pool clean until I can find something better? Money is tight. (I pay for everything) should I keep them on the food they are now or should get something different?

Oh, how cute! I don't know anything about ducks. You might want to post this in our ducks section to get help from all our duck experts...

I would keep them on good duck feed. I know ducks can have problems with a niacin deficiency so I wouldn't want to save money giving them something cheaper.

Looks like there is a third duck at the pool - a newbie, or an interloper????
 
Welcome to BYC! Glad you decided to join our flock. TwoCrows has given you our duck section link to check out. I'm a chicken person and don't know much about ducks (although I've had a few), but I have to admit that ducklings are the ultimate in cute. Good luck with your ducks.
