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.

Artist’s notes:

The Domestic Duck was completed on 7.29.2011. This bird is the last (at least for now) domestic animal I am planning to draw. Some months back, I thought adding a page of farm animals might make a nice addition to the illustration library. Since that time, I added drawing of a pig, goat, horse, chicken, cow and now a duck. Shoot me an email if you’d like to see another type of domestic animal added to the farm animals page. The drawing is based on a photo by Sue and Paul at PAS Photography.
