Rouen Ducks for Sale
The Rouen Duck (pronounced “ruin”) is a large, calm, and attractive heritage duck named after the town of Rouen in France. Closely resembling the wild Mallard in coloring, Rouens are admired for their rich plumage, hardy nature, and dependable performance in a wide range of climates.
Rouen ducks are excellent foragers and highly weather-hardy, thriving in both hot and cold environments. As they mature, their distinctive coloring makes them easy to sex, with drakes and hens clearly differentiated—an advantage for flock management.
This breed is well known as a dual-purpose duck, valued for both flavorful, lean meat and steady egg production. Compared to Pekins, Rouen meat is leaner and richer in flavor, making it popular among small farmers and homesteaders. Hens lay 100 to 150 large eggs per year, typically off-white or blue-green in color.
Our Rouen ducks are the commercial line, not the exhibition variety. As domestic ducks, they cannot fly, making them easier to manage than wild-type ducks. With their calm, friendly temperament, Rouens are also well suited as pet ducks, like all of our breeds except the Mallard.
Recognized by the American Poultry Association (APA) and classified as a heritage breed, Rouen ducks are an excellent choice for those seeking a hardy, attractive, and productive duck for eggs, meat, or companionship.

White Pekin Ducks
$8.00
Pekins are the most common duck and a very good dual- purpose bird. They are the primary commercial meat duck breed in the United States and many other parts of the world. They are a fast-growing, large-framed, hardy breed that produces a carcass that is easier to clean than those of other ducks. Calm in nature, they have an excellent feed conversion ratio and are highly fertile. However, they are not very good natural sitters. An incubator is recommended for successful hatching. Pekins are domestic, meaning they cannot fly. All our ducks can be kept as pets except the Mallard.

Mallard Ducks
$8.25
It is believed that all domestic ducks except for the Muscovy are derived from the wild Mallard. They are a small flying duck that make good mothers, hatching and raising 1-2 batches of ducklings a year. They will start flying at about 10 weeks and take flight regularly by 16 weeks. Because of their ability to fly they are great for hunting training, but we do not recommend them as pets unless you have a fully enclosed enclosure or clip one or both wings. It takes 14-16 weeks for the male mallards’ head to turn green and fill in their distinguishing coloring.
