Duck Breed Focus - Cayuga

[CayugaJana]

Oh, and no drake feather at 7 1/2 months. Cayuga Jane weighed in with the previous youtube vid and thinks they are both females...so I am just anxiously awaiting the other duck to start laying for confirmation

My memory is terrible!!!

They may start laying or they may wait until the spring. Mine that were born in March are still laying!

Yes Cayuga Jane, one of my two has been laying for about 6 weeks and I'm getting nearly one every day. I'm going to put a camera in the coop and try to figure out which one is doing the laying...I know drakes supposedly don't really "quack" but I still feel I may have a quackin' male!!! LOL! "He" is still mounting the other duck, is substantially bigger, greener, very protective of the other duck, and quacks!! II'll keep this thread posted

My drake daffy is a major quacker. He is louder and way more talkative then my girl daisy.

My Cayuga molted and several of the new feathers are white now. She almost looks like a Black Swedish. Will her feathers turn black again?

Cayugas turn white, whiter they are usualy means oh much older they are

She's only 2 years old. I raised her from a duckling. She's pretty with some white but think this is the first time she molted so thought maybe that had something to do with it. Thank you.

i shouldnt have seid turn white, But they get whiter as time goes on

I think it looks awesome

 

[Betsy57]

Yes, she is pretty with the white, black and iridescent green.

 

[Jpat]

They realy are beautifull!
