The Pekin is a breed of domestic duck, raised primarily for meat. It derives from birds brought to the United States from China in the nineteenth century and is now bred in many parts of the world. Often known as the “American Pekin” to distinguish it from the “German Pekin,” a distinct and separate breed which derives from the same Chinese stock but has different breeding.

Pekins are excellent homesteader ducks! They are very hardy, easily lay a decent number of eggs, and will also go broody. True to their reputation, they grow extremely quickly and efficiently produce a lovely table bird.
