Anas Platyrhynchos domestica

Information about the Domestic Duck:

Domestic Ducks are descendants of common Mallards that have been bred to serve humans for eggs, meat and down from their feathers. Because they are closely related to the Mallard, they will sometime interbreed creating domestic/wild hybrid ducks. Ducks have been domesticated for thousands of years, probably beginning in Asia. They are less popular than chickens, because the duck has less white lean meat than a chicken and are more difficult to keep in a confined area. While most domestic ducks provide the farmer with various uses, they are also occasionally kept as pets. They are also commonly seen at county fairs competing against one another for ribbons.
