And a fully grown Rouen duck is typically significantly heavier in size than the Mallard ducks. The plumage coloring of the Rouen ducklings and Mallard ducklings are also different. So the Mallard ducklings are identical to the Rouen ducklings in terms of plumage coloring. The Rouen ducklings can also be distinguished from wild Mallard ducklings by the presence of a second stripe which runs across their face, just under their eyes.
Whereas the Mallard ducklings have only one stripe which runs across their eyes. Two distinct types of Rouen duck are bred in North America. Which are common or production bred and the standard bred variety. Common or production bred variety is larger than the Mallard ducks but has a typical duck conformation. On the other hand the standard bred variety is much larger and squarer.
The average body weight of the standard bred variety is about 4. And the common or production variety usually weights about 2. The standard Rouen duck variety is a massive duck and has a horizontal carriage. They have a large, blocky body with a deep, level keel and their back arches from shoulders to tail. The head of the standard variety is round with a medium size bill. Unlike Mallard who tends to avoid human, Rouen is calm when close to humans.
Their attitude is normal and quite calm. Rouen is known as a type of laying duck. Many people choose Rouen to be bred because they can produce high-level eggs even though the egg size is slightly smaller than other laying duck. Mallard is known as a wild duck that can withstand any weather condition.
When winter hits, they can still adapt well even though it is a bit difficult to find food. As long as there are enough water sources, Mallard can survive during the winter. Maybe the wild whipped Mallard harder than Rouen, who is usually chosen by people to be livestock? There are many factors that need to be studied more deeply about this. And, the ability of individual duck with one another is different.
We cannot assume that all types of ducks are the same using only one individual. Where did you get these ducklings? If you found them wandering around, they may be wild Mallards. Rouens can't really fly, so I don't think you'd find them very far from their farm.
Rouens get big really quick. How adorable! They are cute babies. What are their names? Did you ever find out what kind of duck they are?? I cannot think of any other names though. None of the names I pick seem to fit them. Can anyone give me any suggestions? I am thinking about Jax for one of them.
I have 18 more baby ducks on the way, I'll have to give them names too. Maybe you or someone else can give me some suggestions on naming all them too!!!
