Yep. The CX of the duck world. Or so I've heard.

Cornish Cross. Meat birds.

Yeah jumbo Pekins that’s the breed

Thanks! So jumbo pekins are bred to be larger? they are actually different than regular pekins?
(Guess I’m worried it’s my fault for having food out.) they seem fine, though... get around well. Fast runners and swimmers. Happy ducks.

thanks, I suspected they may be bred to be good for meat.
That’s not happening here though!
though I sure hope at least one of these two is a female, I love duck eggs! I heard 4-5 months till they lay?

Yep they are. Lots of people like them for breeding and eating because they’re so big. I made a thread yesterday about a YouTuber who’s a farmer and he has a jumbo Pekin drake named Samson
