White Peking ducks blanket the floor of a long, industrial-style shed in regional New South Wales, their pale feathered bodies creating a living carpet across the brown earth substrate. Red-painted feeding and watering infrastructure lines the edges of the densely populated poultry house, creating structured pathways amid the sea of birds. Overhead, galvanized steel trusses and wire mesh provide ventilation and structural support, typical of modern intensive farming facilities designed for efficient meat production. The ducks appear uniform in size and color - a testament to carefully managed breeding and growth protocols in commercial duck farming. Soft natural light filters through the side walls, highlighting the birds' crisp white plumage and creating subtle shadows across the packed shed floor. This image captures the industrialized precision of contemporary Australian poultry production, where generations of agricultural expertise converge to deliver consistent, high-quality protein for domestic and export markets.
