Rouen Duck

Rouen Ducks are an attractive breed of waterfowl name of the French city where they originated. Rouens are similar in color to the wild Flying Mallard — male drakes have a lustrous green head and neck, a rich purplish brown chest, and steel gray penciling on the upper body, and female hens are mahogany brown with fine penciling of greenish black or brown. Some people refer to Rouens as Mallards but that is incorrect as Mallards fly will quite easily and Rouens do not. A Rouen weighs at least three times that of a Mallard. Mature male Rouens weigh about 7 pounds and females are about 5 pounds.

Rouen ducks lay between 140-180 eggs per year, and are "fair" setters.

Rouen ducks need some type of shelter in the Winter to protect them from the elements. It does not need to be heated, but should be dry and draft free.

Can ducks live in the same pen as chickens?
Ducks need to rinse out their bills and dunk their heads in water and will get the area wet and messy. Damp conditions are not healthy for chickens to live in. Therefore, we do not encourage housing ducks and chickens together.
