Rouen Ducks

[ethel2016]

I have 2 Rouen ducks I believe to be male and female, my question is do u clip wings on ducks like u would a chicken? I keep my ducks in a run with my hens and would like to let them forage outside the run. I do have a 6 foot privacy fence all around my yard so should I worry about wings or just let them be? Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

Rouens can't fly. So you don't need to clip their wings.

Spyderk is correct! Rouens are too heavy to fly, so no worries!

OK I didn't think they could cause they are a domesticated breed, or heavier breed which ever. I just wanted to make sure. Thanks for the info!

I to have a Rouen duck, he can fly, but I would not suggest clipping their wings because he can only fly about 1-2 inches off the ground and as far as about 5 yards.
