Welsh or Rouen?

[xke4]

This guy came in to the wildlife centre late this summer, a total imprint.

He was most happy snuggled in a volunteer's arms and would rest his head on their shoulders. We half expected him to purr. As he was clearly not wild, he came to me. "Carolyn's Home for Misfit Ducks". As he got his colour, I thought he may be a Rouen but he has his big boy colours now and has not developed the enormous undercarriage. So now I think he may be a Welsh. Or do Rouen's develop their big chest later on?

His head is a solid brilliant green. And he does try to fly each time he is let out on the lawn.

Looks like a rouen. Probably the hatchery variety, they usually do not get as massive as the exhibition birds(the ones with the tummy dragging on the floor).

if it can fly it is a mallard but if only for a little its a rouen mine dont have the big stomach and cant fly well
