I love their names
I think you have Mallards since there is only one eye stripe
the little yellow ones are probably Pekins but there are other breeds that are yellow too so over the next couple of weeks you should know for sure. They sure are cuties

Thank you!!! the mallard ducklings are Dawn, Bubbles, and Brandon

I vote Mallard, Rouen ducklings have a second stripe across their face, mallard ducklings have only one stripe.

Also hatcheries will usually use Mallards with toe clipping (back right toe) to appease the DNR that they are from farm stock and not wild.

Hello!

Yesterday I come home with 6 ducklings, 3 that are Pekins (I think) and 3 that are mallards or Rouens. Can anyone help me confirm if they are Mallards or Rouens? Thank you in advance for any help!!!

Rouen-two face stripes even though the one stripe in incomplete. They do not look like the mallard ducklings that I hatched last year. The faces of yours have way more yellow and look to be a good handful.

My memory is incorrect. I just looked back at pictures and my mallard ducklings looked exactly the same.

Ok, so they are most likely mallards?

It's likely, but time will tell.
