cayuga

I had a broody Muscovy who's eggs didn't turn out, so I got her 4 ducklings. I was told these were Cayuga, which I've never had before, but it seems like they have a lot of yellow (plus one with a lighter beak). I don't really care what breed they are, I just wanted them to distract mama duck...

I have a Cayuga duck female that has went missing today. This is not the norm for her, so I am a bit worried. I am wondering where do they like to make their nest? Near the pond away from pond, in the tree line, on hills, under trees, away from everyone? I'm just hoping she's sitting on a nest...

I just had this random question, because most of our ducks are scared of us. Is there any way to really get close to them?

Symptoms: 》small but noticeable loss of appetite 》hint of lethargic (still follows flock. around. to swim & rummage through. the garden for bugs) 》begining to not want to stand & use one leg 》weak First time I...

So I have mentioned this Cayuga before, but she is currently 9 years old and suffers from arthritis. Recently, she broke her leg around the femur area, and there is very little hope she’ll be able to walk ever again. We’re not sure what exactly caused this. I don’t want to put her down. She...

I ordered some Cayuga duck hatching eggs about 2 months ago from Nate Vanwey of Shamrock Farm WI. They are 100% Dempsey pure Cayuga ducklings. All the pictures of his birds online are absolutely gorgeous. Got 18 eggs, 5 hatched. All from his C3 breeding pen. The eggs from the other pens never...

Is it possible for Cayuga ducklings to have white on them? I know that as the adults get older they slowly turn white, but is it possible for ducklings to have some white fluff on them too?

Is there really that much of a difference between Cackle hatchery Cayugas and milliman(duck hollow farm) Cayugas? I recently bought some that came from cackle hatchery, but I'm still thinking about trying to get some from Milliman. If there is a big difference in quality what specifics make...

Do any of you know of any resources on Cayuga genetics, specifically color genetics. I found a post a few weeks ago that talked about needing to select for more than just one gene in order to get really colorful birds but I can't find it now.

Hello! So I've been seeing stuff on sexing Cayugas by their quacks but I don't understand what I'm listening for. They're 8 weeks old so just a few more weeks until my drakes get their curly-Qs in their tail feathers, but I'd like to know what I'm listening for when they quack. Here's a...

Good Morning! This is the first time we decided to hatch our own ducklings from our eggs collected from our ducks! However, I have two drakes. So I’m not positive what mix I ended up with! They’re adorable either way just curious what y’all think!? I have a male khaki Campbell and Blue...

So after my 2 Cayuga had bad bumblefoot last fall (they recovered fully from antibiotics and treatment, no actual surgery or cutting) I have been more vigilant in checking them. Lilith the female has shown a new case (we've had a ton of rain and the 3 ducks in this cohort have been spending...

So i have a cayuga female who’s been with a black swedish for a while, but he sadly passed away this week. We have another flock but the sole drake doesn’t get along at all. The mate is 8, and doesn’t lay, and I’m unsure what exactly to do with her. I’ve had her since middle school and dont...

Good morning, everyone! I live on a small lot (1/2 acre) and just checked and legally am allowed up to three POULTRY - which is "any domesticated fowl...etc etc." But it pretty clearly would allow for ducks, which I didn't realize until today. BUT there is a provision against roosters (if one...

Hi, I recently added more ducks to my flock. I will be hatching ducklings in the spring from my flock to sale and I was wondering if anyone has mixed these breed if so what did they look like. I love to see pictures either duckling and/or adults. black Swedish Hen Cayuga Hen American fawn &...

Hello Everyone. I have 2 Ancona ducks and 1 Ancona/Cayuga mix for sale. All are 2 months and we’re raised together since they were tiny ducklings. All 3 are healthy and fat. Im located in Chicago. Please pm for details if you are interested. Thank you.
