Some duck questions

Both look like mallards to me,..I have 5 baby mallards and they have that same stripe and pattern on the back baby fuzz.
So cute!!!

Yes, but mallards and rouens have the same "stripe and pattern on the back baby fuzz" Its the little ones eye stripes, she has two, which would in my opinion lean towards her being a rouen.

see how the bottom stripe doesn't connect all the way across?, that says mallard, I've had lots of mallard babies have face markings liked that.

I dunno, still cute

That's too funny, because the same thing just happened to me! Just because I have a yard and a house full of chicks/chickens, a co-worker rescued 3 little mallards from a busy street after their mom and siblings got hit by a car, and just "figured" that I could/would take care of them! Well, she was right, but still!!!

Good luck with your babies!!
