What varieties of ducklings are there?

There are generally the following varieties of ducklings:

First, common mallards, which are raised by almost every farmer. Mallards have a high survival rate and grow quickly. Mallards can be slaughtered in 50 days if the conditions are good.

The second is the Muscovy duck. Farmers raise Muscovy ducks mainly to guard their homes, because they are ferocious and dare to catch snakes, poisonous insects and the like.

The third is the Beijing White Duck, which is a large meat duck. An adult white duck can weigh seven or eight kilograms.

The fourth type is the hybrid offspring of Muscovy duck and Mallard duck, which we call: duck.

How to identify duckling breeds?

Identifying duckling breeds can start from the following aspects:

1. Body shape: Ducklings of different breeds have different sizes. For example, Beijing ducklings are larger, while Papillon ducklings are smaller.

2. Feather color: Different breeds of ducklings have different feather colors. For example, the feathers of Beijing ducklings are white, while the feathers of Tokyo ducklings are black.

3. Mouth shape: Different breeds of ducklings have different mouth shapes. For example, the mouth of the Papilio duckling is smaller, while the mouth of the Beijing duckling is larger.

4. Call: The calls of ducklings of different breeds are also different. For example, the calls of Beijing ducklings are relatively crisp, while the calls of grass ducklings are relatively dull.

It should be noted that the above characteristics are only some basic indicators for identifying duckling breeds. There are also some similarities between different breeds. Therefore, identifying duckling breeds requires a comprehensive judgment based on multiple characteristics. In addition, if you are not sure about the duckling breed, it is best to consult a breeding professional or veterinarian for judgment.
