The Mallard small, flying duck. They are very similar in coloring to the Rouen duck but are much smaller (weighing just 2-2.5 pounds). Mallards will start to fly for short spurts at 10-12 weeks and will be flying well by 16 weeks. It is really a treat to see these brightly colored ducks flying about.
When raised for meat production, Mallards have a more gamey taste than other domestic duck breeds. Mallard hens are excellent mothers and will raise one or two broods of ducklings a year.
