About Estaires Ducks

Estaires Ducks are a breed of French ducks known for their yellowish-white feathers. They grow rapidly, reaching a weight of 5 to 5 and a half pounds (2 to 2.5 kg) in a short period of time.

These ducks are primarily raised for their eggs, as they are known to be good layers. Although, the meat from the Estaires Ducks is considered to be average in quality by most.

The breed originated in the Estaires département of France, located along the Lys river in the northern part of the country near the English channel and the Belgian border. It is believed that one of the ancestors of the Estaires Duck breed is the Pekin duck.
