Pekin Ducks

By

While Free Ranging running on the farm with the WooFPAK, the WooFDriver saw some Free Ranging Ducks at the pond! A great reason for proper recall training!! The Pekin Duck is also known as the Domesticated Duck. Bred from the Mallard subspecies and mostly used in the farming industry. The ones you see in the wild have escaped for freedom and joined native flocks. This interbreeding with local wild duck populations results in hybrid ducks that have indistinct plumage that may have irregular tufts of feathers or unexpected colors. Both Disney’s Donald Duck and the Aflac duck are modeled after the Pekin Duck.
