cayuga duck thread

1. I recommend just ordering from a diffrent hatchery that gaurentees life babies in the shipment .

2. Depends on the size of the egg . Like how small is small .

My Cayuga ducklings are growing fast. And boy are they fast little buggers! I love watching them follow their adoptive mom around, lol. Does anyone here sell Cayuga eggs? Mine are from a hatchery that I suspect has inbred their stock. I'd like to get eggs from other places to help open up their gene pool, but I also don't want too many eggs, I was thinking 8 hatching eggs. I know some will not survive shipping, and then I will have both boys and girls hatch. I am hoping to get an additional 3 ladies from such a hatch. I currently have 3 females and 1 male Cayuga, they will be 3 weeks old this Wednesday.

Where did you get yours from?

My Cayuga with my pekin and magpie. She's not as sweet as my pekin, and the pekin is the boss

Smaller than my chickens eggs. I assume more like a bantam size.

I got mine from a feed store that told me they order from Ideal Hatchery.

She definitely doesn't lay everyday. More like every 2-3 days it seems.

I got mine from McMurry and I am very happy with her. She lays every day and has very little white.

Beautiful birds !!!!

But are you sure your Cayuga isn't a mix it has more brown on it than it should like a lot more .
