Domestic Duck Breeds Pictures and Information (Work in progress!)
From heavy breeds like the Aylesbury or Rouen to the bowling pin Indian Runner or the tiny but noisey little Call duck, there's usually a breed of duck that will tickle your fancy!
The Duck Breed Selector: UK Standardised Breeds
Choose a breed from the menu on the left, OR select a breed below. The breeds are grouped in their classifications and are listed as follows:
Breed Name. (Links in blueindicate there is a breed page.)
Colour (if applicable to the breed) & Sex of duck in photo (some males / females look very different).
Note: Where there are plumage differences between Male / Female, we are adding a 'Cursor Roll Over' to show the Female. This is work in progress though!
