Does anybody in Northern Indiana have a cayuga for sale? Not sure if gender matters. A friend's daughter's cayuga drake got hit last night. I am also thinking I might be looking for Bourbon Red turkey hens if anybody knows where I can find some.
Wow, it sounds like your ducks are way out numbered by drakes. Temperment will have a lot to do with how you'll do with that many drakes. I think the average is 1 drake to 6 or 7 ducks. We had 2 drakes at one time, but one was running the entire flock ragged. We had to find him a new home...
Can't say I'm a long time owner, but we've had them for a couple of years. We try to keep water thawed for them. The one thing I want to do this year is to create a better wind block for them (ours have an outside run). We've also found that if its too cold we don't even let them out of the...

We just picked up a fancy assortment of layers from the post office this morning. My kids are having a blast trying to figure out what we have. Last week we got meat chickens with a free rare chick, turns out its a cookoo maran:D
After the trauma of duck eggs not hatching We have a khaki campbell sitting on a clutch of 6 eggs. I guess we'll let her sit and try not to get my hopes up:/
