About Elizabeth Ducks

The Elizabeth Duck is a unique type of domesticated duck that originated in Australia. These birds are primarily raised for their meat, although they also lay eggs in limited numbers. They have a reputation for being friendly and easy to care for, making them a popular choice for those interested in raising ducks.

Due to the fact that the Elizabeth Duck is only found in Australia and New Zealand, the breed is considered endangered by the Rare Breeds Trust of Australia. This has led to efforts to conserve the breed and maintain its numbers.

They are smaller and stockier than other duck breeds and are known for their gentle and friendly demeanor, making them a suitable option for farmers or as a pet for families.
