Here's a full picture of the one needing to know if it is a male.

Is this a tail from a male Rouen?

Is this a tail from a male Rouen?

 

[buff goose guy]

he is not mature yet but yes that is a male. if female the green would just be at the top of the head but he has begun haveing green all over his face give him a little more time and his tail curl should pop up. also if you listen to your female she will sound totally different than he does.

I would think a drake, too, a young one, is his voice raspy?

 

[housewife]

ty very much

 

[housewife]

yes it is. The ones that look like females are very loud

 

[Amiga]

That sounds right, then. Girls quack, boys rasp.

We lost our first bird, a Hen Rouen. She layed nice blue eggs. Found a pluck site right next to the neighbors pond they frequent. Close to all the feathers, some of the guts and an egg, not a single bone. Seems most likely a bird of prey. Don't know any other animal that would leave the egg, take the time to pluck and take the whole carcass with it.

I'm sorry @gifters its always hard to lose a bird. When I lost a Peking there was nothing anywhere so dont know how to help id your predator
