They live in areas close to humans, such as lakes, farms and even houses. Humans rear them for meat and their eggs and some people also rear them as pets as they can also make good pets. Their eggs are used for baking, salted egg fish skin, omelettes, and other things you do with eggs. Their meat is tougher than chicken and their skin is thicker than chickens and turkeys. If not cooked properly, they will have a rubbery taste. American Pekins were also first raised in China over 200 years ago. They come from the Mallard Duck and arrived in the United States in 1873.
Contrary to popular belief, they are capable of short flight. Due to them deriving from mallards, a migratory species, it retains the hollow bone structure and powerful wing muscles. However, due to breeding making them heavier, it makes it harder for them to fly. Lighter individuals are capable of flight.
