The Rouen Duck is a large, calm, and beautifully colored breed known for its striking resemblance to the wild Mallard but with a much heavier, more robust body. These ducks feature deep, rich coloring—drakes display iridescent green heads, chestnut breasts, and steel-gray bodies, while hens show soft brown and tan patterns. Rouens are gentle, slow-moving birds that do well in backyard and free-range environments, making them a favorite for families and hobby keepers. Though not as prolific as some laying breeds, Rouen hens provide a steady supply of large white to cream-colored eggs. Their impressive size, docile temperament, and ornamental beauty also make them a popular choice for those raising ducks for meat or show. With their calm nature and classic appearance, Rouen Ducks bring both charm and substance to any flock.
