Dixie Chicks

[BriardChickens]

I posted about them awhile back

Do you have any or planning to get some? The appleyard person has some too. I might have to wait for appleyard eggs for up to 2 weeks, but I could get kayuga right away. I am hoping he can compromise. 3 kayuga and 4 silver appleyard eggs!

Cayuga ducks can lay a black egg also, they I guess are native to NY and named after Cayuga Lake.

I imagine so, upstate NY tends to have artic weather.
Now I can't find the other breed that lays black, googled it and only get the Cayuga, someone mentioned it on here, either jem or minihorse I think.

East Indies lay black to grey also
Hit the duck thread BC
I think in general all ducks are heartier than chickens

Yes, cayuga and black east indies should always lay black eggs at the beginning kf their laying cycle.

I however have an ancona duck that does lay a black egg. It has lightened with the cycle.

First egg in the cycle.
