White Pekin
The White Pekin duck has a fast growth rate making it an
excellent choice for meat. They are entertaining and very
active with a good hatching ability. White Pekin baby
ducklings are one of the cutest and most popular ducks
for pets.
Rouens
Rouen ducks are the basic coloration of the Mallards only
larger and do not fly more than 100 feet. They are a
French breed that is used both for eggs and meat. A great
water fowl for the ranch pond, they make good backyard
ducks and are good for insect control. The Rouen duck is
calm, sociable and very entertaining as pets. The Rouen
duck is a slower grower than the Pekin. They also make
good show ducks.
Mallards
Mallard ducks are the most common and recognizable
wild ducks in the Northern Hemisphere. The male
mallard duck, called a drake, sports a glossy green head,
a white ring around its neck and a rich, chestnut-brown
breast. The mottled brown female mallard looks
downright dull next to the male's showy feathers.
Because Mallard ducks are known to be most social birds
it is in the Mallards' best interests if Mallard ducklings
are raised in the company of other Mallard ducks and not
alone. Mallards are also known to be naturally timid
11
toward humans.
Colored Indian Runners
Indian Runners are active ducks that enjoy foraging for
slugs and insects. One of their original . There are a
number of different color varieties of Indian Runner
duck available but the Standards do vary by
region. Indian ducks are possibly the most influential of
all of the duck breeds. Many of todays breeds of light
duck have in part been created from the Indian Runner
Duck. Indian Runners are good for eggs and good for
organic pest control, particularly in vineyards.
Blue Swedish
The Blue Swedish Duck is among the oldest
domesticated ducks and is still a favorite today. With a
large size (up to eight pounds), hardiness adapted to cold
climates and an interesting blueish-gray appearance,
the Blue Swedish Duck is easy to raise, care for and
keep. This breeds unique plumage allows it to blend in
and makes it difficult for predators to target. This breed
is also good-natured and calm, making them great
family pets and especially popular among young
children.
Muscovy
The original (wild type) coloration is black and white,
but domestication has produced many more colors,
including white, black, chocolate, and blue. The males
are large, weighing up to twelve pounds, with the small-
er females reaching only seven pounds. Their feet have
strong sharp claws and are built to grasp, so that they
can perch on branches. Some people consider them ugly
because of the large red warty caruncles above the beak
and around the eyes. They are, however, very
personable and interesting birds, and quite intelligent.
Unlike most domestic waterfowl, Muscovies will often
fly up and roost. They fly fairly well, especially the
smaller females, but are known more for flying around
than flying away!

White Embdens
This snowy white goose is what most people see when
they think of a domestic goose. With a stout, round body,
graceful neck and round head, the White Embden goose
grows quickly and reaches a large size. With females at
about 20 pounds and males at about 30, they are very
popular among meat-production farmers. These geese will
protect their nests and their territory from predators,
making them easy to breed, but are not overly territorial
towards owners or other pets.
Toulouse
The Toulouse goose is a large, stout goose raised for its
heavy weight, moderate egg production and striking
physical attributes. The Toulouse goose is often raised for
meat, particularly its historic purpose, pate foie gras.
Laying between 25 and 40 eggs a year and growing
quickly to between 14 lbs - 18 lbs, Toulouse geese are
popular among hobby farmers, family farms and small
commercial farms.
Standard Africans
African geese are actually close relatives of the Chinese
goose and bear some similarities. The African goose is
heavier, with ganders reaching about 20 pounds, making it
a good addition to meat-production flocks. Females
produce up to 50 large, white eggs a year and also reach a
large size. The black knob above the beak which develops
into adulthood, and the dewlap under the beak, give its
head a distinctive shape. These geese are vocal and
protect their territory, though they can be raised from
chicks as gentle family pets.

Goslings Continued...
White Chinese
The White Chinese goose is one of the smallest
domesticated geese breeds, and it is also a prolific
egg-layer. An excellent forager, this goose is an
independent and self-sufficient breed. It is also protective
of its nest and will honk loudly if it is confronted.
Outwardly, it is among the most elegant breeds, as its
long neck and snow-white feathers closely resemble a
swan. White Chinese geese are great for orchards, gardens
and pastures, but are not recommended as pets.
