Rouen Ducks

Rouen Ducks The Rouen duck is a larger, calm, and sociable breed with the same beautiful coloration as the Mallard, but much larger and unable to fly more than 100 feet. Originating in France and recognized by the American Standard of Perfection in 1874, the Rouen is prized for both eggs and meat. This friendly duck is a great addition to backyard flocks, helps with insect control, and is well-suited to ponds. Slower-growing than the Pekin, Rouens are excellent as pets, show birds, and utility ducks for small homesteads. Appearance: Feather Color: The White Pekin Duck has pure white feathers, which give it a clean, classic appearance. Their soft, fluffy plumage is easy to recognize and makes them one of the most distinctive duck breeds. Body Type: The White Pekin Duck is known for its muscular, well-rounded body. These ducks have a broad chest and a solid, sturdy build, which contributes to their high meat yield. Their body is compact and deep, and they are large ducks overal
