Duclair Duck

The Duclair duck is relatively new in the U.S., but the breed has been around for a very long time. The French are known for perfecting flavorful duck breeds, and the Duclair has been celebrated by chefs for centuries for its rich and earthy tasting meat.

Duclairs are a smaller sized duck, similar to the Pekin. They are quick growers, weighing 5-6 pounds in 7-12 weeks. Duclairs are also very good layers, laying 80-100 or more large eggs per year.

Duclair ducks are great for any size farm or even a backyard flock.

Q&A

Do these ducks generally have leg problems?
Duclair ducklings typically do not grow quite as rapidly as other ducklings and don't tend to experience leg issues. However, we always encourage our customers to include a vitamin supplement in the drinking water for all duckling breeds, for additional nutrition.

Can Duclair ducks fly?
Duclair ducks generally do not fly.

When do they start laying?
Ducks generally begin laying around 6 months of age. However, they require a minimum of 14-17 hours of lighting for egg production. So, if you do not supplement the coop with a light in the winter, they may not start to lay until next Spring.
