Hey! So these babies are rouens and a Silver Appleyard, based on what you lovely people have told me! Which means two breeds we have never had before! Yay!! With that being said, I’m not sure what the boys and girls start off feathering out like. I have looked up some pictures of both breeds as...
I have some mix ducklings that I don’t know the breed of. I have 3 drakes- Cayuga x, Welsh Harlequin x, and I think Rouen x Khaki Campbell. My ducks are I think Rouen, Runner mix, Cayuga x, and Ancona x. Can anyone tell me what breed my ducklings are? And how to add photos?
They all look...
I have never had ducks before and I just moved back to my mom and dad‘s house. Apparently they have a male and female ROUEN duck. The female sitting on eggs I started doing research. I candles the eggs. One has internally pipped and has started breaking the shell to get out. I’m not sure if he’s...
Hey, I have 4 Rouen ducks who are just shy of their 6th week birthday!
I am wondering if anyone can guess what their genders are? I am colour blind so much help is appreciated in spotting feather/bill colours. I have noticed that one duck’s bill is much darker than the others. TIA!
We have a 4 month old Rouen/Swedish Blue duck who since the first day of hatch has done this weird thing with her neck. It’s a very slow, non stop up and down motion making her look like an animatronic robot duck as she also has unnaturally large protruding eyeballs.
I’ve attached a video...
Hello!
I have 2 call ducks and a rouen that like to come into the house, and I was wondering if there are any duck diapers that anyone could recommend?
Thank you in advance!
I know some breeds of ducks can be sexed for a short period after birth because males and females get different beak colors. I have some rouens hatching in some time and I was wondering if rouens have that quirk too? It would make my life a lot easier lol
I have a Rouen duckling that was given to me, they are 2 weeks old. Over the past few days they have started to make this short high pitched whistle. Sometimes they’ll do two whistles in a row but it’s mostly just once.
Does the whistling mean they’re a male? Or do both male and female Rouens...
Hello everyone! I have been enjoying the group by searching the threads and reading everyone’s posts! My Mother’s Day ducks I’m guessing are around 7/8 weeks old. I have been trying to figure out their genders by their voices, I think the two Khaki Campbells are ducks and I think I have 2/3...
Good Morning!
This is the first time we decided to hatch our own ducklings from our eggs collected from our ducks! However, I have two drakes. So I’m not positive what mix I ended up with! They’re adorable either way just curious what y’all think!?
I have a male khaki Campbell and Blue...
We got to pick up our ducklings from the post office this morning. I was thrilled to find all happy, noisy, spring-loaded babies when we opened the box. We ordered from a hatchery and it looks like the babies were packaged with great care. We ordered 5 anconas and 2 cayugas and received 6...
I have a duck that now is full grown and was thought to be a Rouen. He has Black to very dark brown head, white collar but has black not blue stripe like Rouen. Any idea what kind of duck I have? As you can see, the regular Rouen has green head. He's getting large like a Rouen also
I am hoping some of you out there that have raised quite a few ducks male and female can help. At this point unless this is a female I have only had drakes. Now I know once adult what a male sounds like, and I’ve heard on the internet what an adult female is supposed to sound like. However...
I recently got 2 young female rouen ducks along with 1 female pekin. Ever since I’ve got them the rouens bully on the pekin. What could I do? I’ve tried separating the mean ones from the pekin etc. any advice will help! Thanks!!
So i have had this Rouen for about 8 years. As healthy as a horse, but for the past couple of weeks he’s been noticeably becoming more unhealthy. He seems more week, his feathers are scruffed, he seems to be gaining weight, and is far less mobile. Any ideas on what it could be and how to handle...
I am pretty sure we have two drakes on our hands. They are 8 weeks and still all brown, but their bills are lighter and I saw some green color on the top of their heads when in the sunlight.
Anyway, can I keep them together or will i have to separate them at some point?
Also, they have been with...
