My first Cayugas, Willow and Daffy the first day i got them from Metzer Farms. My icon is them at one year. They are both gone now, unfortunately.

Now I have two of their offspring, Pip and Abigail. I'll have to upload some pictures of them on here.

Was the coop not secure????
(Obviously not)
Better fix it up fast, because if a predator got the first one it will be back for the other one tonight.
And ducks are not big carrot fans. Try peas or mealworms. But only as treats. What are you feeding for food?

They'll eat unmedicated chick starter if you have any and constant access to water. What have you been feeding them?

My ducks wouldn't touch a carrot with a ten foot pole. They much prefer salad greens. They love mealworms as a treat.

I'd try the mealworms and peas as suggested. As Cherib603 stated, you'd better check out your coop so that your other duck doesn't meet the same fate.

Hi, does anyone have experience with butchering cayugas? Not trying to offend anyone, just trying to get some input on skin color for a breeding project.

So these must be Cayuga instead of Pekin!


The eggs in the background of the first photo are a greyish white about the size of a med to large hen egg. So far they have not hatched.
Adding a photo of the three babies all fluffed up today. Do they look like Cayuga or something else? They are adorable.

They definitely do not look like Cayugas, at least not pure. Cayugas are solid black as ducklings. But they sure are absolutely adorable!!! This is my Cayuga, Fiona, as a bitty girl
