Full grown male pekin 

The pekin was developed for meat and egg producing. Pekin ducks need to be incubated artificially, since a pekin duck will not sit. The bill, legs, feet are a dark orange, and the body is a creamy white, to a pure white. 

Pekin ducks grow fast, the duckling on the right is a week old, the duckling on the left is two weeks old.
