Elizabeth Ducks were developed in New South Wales, Australia, in 1972. The first ones were sports that appeared during crosses of Rouen Claire and Mallard type mixes to make a fast maturing meat breed.

They are classed in Australia as Ornamental Domestics. The drakes weigh 3.5-4 lb and the females 2.75-3.25 lb. The bill is blue grey.
