Tough call at that age. The feather coloring is a bit different than mine and it does look similar to the rouens you sent a pic of. Only time will tell.

The other day an spanish duck breeder said that my little and brown duckling could be a rouen duck
And he send me a photo:

Do you think mine is more similar to a rouen or a khaki Campbell??
Whew! I just went through all 22 pages of the KC thread! I can't wait to get my ducklings! DH says I have to build the coop first, at least, so we aren't racing a deadline. I bought all the materials for the projected coop and run this weekend (spending money! Oh Boy!) I'm planning to order 10 Khakis from Metzer, since they are closest to us so hopefully the darlings will be on the road for the least amount of time. It's got to be traumatic for them. I'm ordering straight run, but I hope I get at least half females. Any excess drakes will be butchered and eaten, even though I know it will be very hard to do-- at least as hard as putting down a doe goat that is getting too old to breed and has given you years of service. I'm not sure when the best age for butchering is--(Most of the posts on this thread seem to view their Khakies as pets so please don't flame me because I am considering eating them)
One question I have is about "ponds". I can't afford an in-ground pond; I'm planning on using a combination of kiddie pool and those tough rubber bucket/troughs I've seen at the feed store. How many do you figure I need to keep them happy?
