Rouen Duck thread

[3acres]

Wow that a lot of acres. I thought I had a lot. I have 41 acres. Love the pic's!

Thanks! You have a nice chunk of ground! I find it inspiring what people are doing with just an acre or even less these days and it made me realize how wasteful I am with my ground....working on that now. 41 acres will hold a pile of ducks....

I am new to ducks so I'm learning as I go. As always, BYC is a great source of information. Hopefully I can get answers to some of my duck questions. I have 2 , I thought Rouen ducks. They have the yellow stripping on their face still as babies. I noticed this week that one has the very vivid white ring around his neck. I'm hopin for a pair. Are they in fact rouens? Since the other one does not have the white ring, would that indicate she's a female?

Also, are Rouen and mallards the me type of duck?

The rouens will have 2 stripes by their eyes while mallards only have one eye stripe. It does sound like you have a pair. Mallards and rouens are close to the same but they have differences. For instance the suggest difference is size. Mallards are tiny while rouens are much bigger a d heavier. Mallards can fly and rouens can't. Just to name a few

Thank you for the information. I will keep my fingers crossed that I have rouens and that they are a pair.
