Rouen Ducks
An excellent Rouen drake
This bird was Champion Duck at the September, 1997, show in
Cobleskill, NY
Rouen (pronounced roan) ducks are a large breed of duck with the same color pattern as the wild mallard.
Show-quality Rouens have a very large, almost dragging, keel: the flesh hanging under the breast and between the legs. You can see this on the drake above and the hen just below. The birds pictured lower on the page are farmyard Rouens. These are the birds you typically get when acquiring ducks from commercial hatcheries.
