Estaires Duck
Estaires Ducks are a French duck breed, having yellowish-white feathers.
The ducks grow fast, reaching 5 to 5 1/2 pounds (2 to 2.5 kg.)
They are raised primarily for their eggs, of which the ducks are good layers.
The meat from the ducks is considered by most to be of of so-so quality.
History Notes
One of the breed's ancestors is probably the Pekin duck.
