Originating in China in ancient times, White Pekins were brought to the Western World in the middle 1800’s. Their fine meat quality and egg laying ability quickly made them the first choice of American duck growers. Both the male and female are creamy white in color, yellow skinned, and very large breasted. The males carry a fall weight of 10 to 11 pounds and the females weigh 8 to 9 pounds. They are the easiest domestic ducks to pick and prepare for eating.
I was extremely pleased with the Pekin ducks from Murray McMurray. I entered two in the local 4-H fair and one took champion.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Last year my friend and I, (we were 13) bought 17 duckling from you, a mix of pekin's, khaki's, and rouen's. We were so pleased with them! They all survived, and now have ducklings of their own. Thank you for providing such great quality ducklings!
I bought 10 White Pekins from you guys about 6 months ago and I still have them, and let me tell you they are the sweetest ducks ever. I'm so happy and I'll buy from you again.
thanks alot McMurray Hatchery.
I ordered 7 Khaki Campbells and 3 White Pekins from McMurray Hatchery. They arrived in single digit temperature weather and are very lively and healthy. They immediately started eating. They even slipped in an extra White Pekin for the trip. Their customer service is as friendly and helpful as you'll find anywhere today. Keep up the great work!!
