About Bau Ducks

Bau ducks are a breed of domestic ducks that are found in Southeast Asia, particularly in the Bau region of Sarawak in Malaysia. They are also known as the Bau Cheeky Duck or the Bau Indian Runner.

The Bau duck is a tall and slender breed, standing up to 20 inches in height, with a long neck and legs. They are known for their upright stance and the characteristic way they carry their heads high. Bau ducks come in a variety of colors, including white, black, blue, and brown, and are often multi-colored with unique patterns and markings.

Bau ducks are considered to be excellent foragers, as they are able to efficiently search for food in pastures and fields. They are also known for their good egg-laying ability and can produce up to 300 eggs per year. Their eggs are medium to large in size and have a creamy white color.

In addition to their foraging and egg-laying abilities, Bau ducks are also valued for their meat, which is said to be tender, juicy, and flavorful. The breed is known for its fast growth rate and the high quality of its meat, making it a popular choice for commercial duck production.
