Mallard Ducks
Mallards Ducks are perhaps the most widely recognized of all waterfowl species. Males especially exhibit rich and deep colors and plumage and make them very popular.
Wild Mallards are common in almost all parts of North America, making them very popular as pets for a wide variety of waterfowl enthusiasts. Our ducklings for sale are
purebred, domesticated Mallards. They are visually identical to the
wild Mallards, but have been bred in a domestic setting.
Mallards are relatively small birds and thus they will be able to fly handily. Most types of
mallards for sale will be able to fly at about 10 weeks of age. If you are looking for a larger bird without the ability to fly, we recommend the
Rouen, which is a bit calmer and more sociable. We also offer
Mallard Duck Hatching Eggs for sale.
These
Domesticated Mallards are raised for a variety of purposes including pets, hunting game, exotic meat products, and show ducks. They make excellent companions as you can release them onto a pond or lake and allow them to live as a natural bird, yet they will still visit their owners regularly for food and socialization.
