Rouen duck
Poultry · Duck · 0 live listings
Rouen ducks come from France and look like large mallards. They are calm, heavy ducks kept for meat and eggs, and production lines grow faster than the larger, slower exhibition lines.
At a glance
The tradeoffs, honestly
Rouens grow slowly compared with Pekins and are heavy, so they need easy water access.
Common questions
Are Rouens good meat ducks?
Yes, but slower-growing than Pekins.
What health checks should ducklings or adults have?
Ask whether the flock is NPIP-certified for pullorum-typhoid and avian influenza, which many states require for sales and shows. Look for clear eyes and nostrils, a clean vent and a steady walk, and quarantine new birds for 30 days before they meet your flock.
Are Rouens related to mallards?
Yes. They were developed from mallard-type ducks and share the coloring.
