Looks like mallards. The 2 with the olive bills are boys and the other is a girl. You can clip their wings to keep them in your yard.Glad i found this thread. I bought 3 ducks at the local feed 12 weeks ago. I was told they were Ruoens. I thought the duck with the yellower bill was male and the 2 with olive bills were female. I also thought they couldn't fly. Well, it appears they can. The smaller (supposedly male) has flown out of the yard a couple of times now. He comes right back. I guess, because his buddies are here. I also read that the drake didn't quack. This guy does and the other 2 (supposed to be female) don't. The quiet ones are figuring out how to fly also but they don't get near the height of the other one...So I guess I have 3 Mallards, 1 female and 2 males. Or have have 3 very confused ducks.I will try to add a pic to this post. Maybe someone can tell me one way or the other.
