What does ROUEN mean in Scrabble?
noun
A heavy breed of domestic duck with dark plumage resembling that of the wild mallard, raised mainly for meat rather than eggs.
Breeders developed the rouen duck in France by selecting mallard-like ducks for larger size and better meat, while keeping the same greenish-headed, dark-bodied coloring as their wild ancestor. Unlike many farmyard ducks, a rouen is too heavy to fly well, which made it popular with keepers who wanted a calm bird that would stay close to home. It remains a familiar breed at poultry shows even though commercial farms now favor faster-growing white ducks.
