Duckworth
Songster
Pekins are just one of many breeds of domestic duck available. Unless you have a particular reason for wanting the Pekin breed, think about what you want in a duck and choose a breed that most closely resembles those characteristics. I need ducks for eggs because someone in my family is allergic to chicken eggs, so I chose a breed known for excellent laying. It’s nice to have so many breeds to choose from so that we can all get the right ducks for us. Some breeds are more common among those found at chain feed stores and others must be special ordered through either a store or directly from a hatchery. Some may be available from local farms or other duck keepers. Since you said you didn’t know a lot about ducks, I thought I would mention that there are options.
