Rouen Ducks
The Rouen duck is a larger version of the Mallard. They have almost the exact same coloration that so many are familiar with. Their colorful and magnificent plumage makes them highly sought after as a beautiful breed for pet ducks, show ducks, and also ducks to simply have on one's property.
They grow slower than the Pekin, thus you will be able to enjoy the maturation process for a bit longer. Like Pekins, Rouen ducks are members of the heavy duck class. Unlike their smaller Mallard cousins, Rouen ducks are too large to fly. This makes them a more suitable pet duck, as you will not have to worry about clipping wings.
These ducks exhibit a quiet and calm temperament, making them an excellent choice for a home flock or as pets ducks. Rouens are very sociable and entertaining, and will certainly become excellent friends as you raise them. |
