What breed of duck is this?

[sarnold1]

Ok, so I bought a pair of ducklings to go with my grown duck. They were supposed to be mallards but one of their tails curls up. I don't know what kind it is or if it's supposed to look like this! And it would also help if you had a guess at their gender!!!

This duck is all together larger and has a different beak.

Rouen or Mallard.

Do their voices sound different? It looks like you have a mallard and a rouen to me.

The smaller is a mallard and the larger a Rouen is my guess. If there is a curl in the tail feathers that means you have a boy. Check out this link on how to tell the sex http://www.majesticwaterfowl.org/artquacks.htm

I agree. Drakes have small feathers on their tail that curl forward, called "drake" or "sex" feathers.

u most likely have a mallard (small one ) and rouen ( big one ) at the age in the picture they should've been the same size if they were the same breed
