Day Old Baby Jumbo Pekin Ducklings for sale
Jumbo Pekins are hatching weekly year round.
Are you looking for the biggest Pekin duck available? If you are, the Jumbo Pekin is for you! These ducks are bred for size! Males will grow to 11+ pounds and females to 9.5+ pounds.
Pekins are raised commercially, and when they are, breeders take both size and egg production into consideration. Usually, the males in a commercial production situation are big, while the females are a bit smaller but excellent egg producers.
In the breeding of Jumbo Pekins, however, both the parents are chosen for size, producing consistently large Pekin chicks. If you want a large duck for meat purposes, the Jumbo Pekin is an excellent choice.
While this strain of Pekin makes a fantastic farm yard or back yard duck, either for meat or as a pet, it is not a show breed. If you are want to show your ducks competitively, the Jumbo Pekin is not a good choice.
