Sexing my ducks

[Zdonahoe]

That is how I got taught by my great grandfather on the farm. So I've seen a lot I'm only 35 but it's a lost art anymore knowing anything about the farm seems like. Disgusting honestly

I guess lol but farmers are necessary...

Yes they are 100% what I mean by disgusting is how very few of the younger generations are willing to learn about it or work on a farm. They are happy with going to grocery store getting there food and not caring about where it came from nor how it got to where it is. Idk just touchy subject.
Good luck with the ducks

You’re right most have no idea what it takes to get to the plate.... enjoy farming

They do seem quite big, and some Rouens I guess have a line and a dash like these guys, although some threads on here say TSC sometimes stocks mixes so literally who knows haha! https://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/Ducks/Rouens/RouenDLing1.JPEG

Those are mallards, rouens have 2 stripes. Tsc employees can barely tell a duck from a chicken much less the breed.

They are Rouen ducks

They're too young to sex at this age, I believe they need to be a few months old : D what breed?

 

[Lisajrob]

they are mallard, rouens have two connecting eye stripes and mallards have one (here is my rouen mocha (1st pic) and a mallard duckling i rehabbed named squeakers (2nd pic)
