Jumbo Pekin Ducks
$12.99
At Metzer Farms, we take pride in raising the finest Jumbo Pekin ducks, known for their impressive size and exceptional egg-laying capabilities. The Jumbo Pekin is our largest strain of Pekin. Commercial Pekin ducks are produced by crossing a male from a large, meaty strain of Pekin with a female Pekin from a medium sized, highly fertile good egg producing strain. With this cross, you get a large number of ducklings from the female that grow into good sized birds because of the size of the male. The Jumbo Pekin ducklings are from a pure male line.

Pekin duck eggs are renowned for their size, rich flavor, and nutritional value. Our Jumbo Pekin ducks consistently produce an abundance of high-quality eggs, perfect for your kitchen or local market. Jumbo Pekin ducks also offer excellent meat quality with tender, flavorful meat that is highly sought after by chefs and home cooks alike.
Jumbo Pekin ducks are fast growers, reaching market weight quickly. They are probably the largest Pekin you can get. For exhibition, they are excellent for Meat Pens but do not have the special conformation necessary for show Pekins. They have been bred for size and meat production, not the specialized standards of show Pekins. Please note our breeders do not look particularly large as they have been on a diet most of their life prior to egg production. By keeping them slim and trim we are able to increase egg production by at least 40% and fertility by 10%. If they are not kept on a diet, the males reach at least 11 pounds and the females 9.5 pounds in three months.
