Talk:Rouen duck

A fact from Rouen duck appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 7 November 2006. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that when first introduced to England there was confusion over whether the Rouen duck was named after the Rhône region, Cardinal de Rohan, the colour roan, or the town Rouen?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2006/November.

Two Types of Rouen ducks, at least in USA

According to Holderread, an American domestic duck breeder and conservationist, the two distinct types are the Production type (wild color, 6-8 lbs/2.75-3.5 kg, "normal" confirmation) and the "standard-bred" (huge block-shaped, 9-12 lbs/4-5.5 kg). - Holderread, Dave.
