Visiting Mallard hen

[rkinley]

That duck is adorable!! Just want to bring to the forefront of your mind that this is a bio security nightmare. If you feed it and get it to stick around maybe a trip to the vet might be in order?

Is it any different from the wild birds (cardinals, etc) who hang out in there and eat their food?

I’d say no. She looks very healthy to me.

Cute!

UPDATE- she is not a Mallard. She's a Rouen. Now her name has to change, lol

Wait, what’s the difference? I had a Mallard family awhile back that came by us, she looks just like Millie...

Spoiler Alert: The Mallard and her eggs didn’t make it... her man did, but that raccoon...

The differences are slight. Google Rouan duck.
I'm not changing her name. I think Millie fits her.

I was looking at Craigslist for a Mallard drake and ran across Rouan.

But you're right, apparently Rouans don't fly! I had no clue. So we're back to Mallard

Some Rouens fly, i can assure you.
