Where are you located? I'm in Illinois and have purebred Cayugas. I'll be needing to rehome or cull four of my drakes SOON (4 hens/6 drakes right now). Mine are all from high quality show stock, although I have no intentions of showing. One of my hens just started laying, so if you're interested in hatching eggs, I may have a small number available soon before I let her go broody (too many weeks of winter left). I don't think an adult drake will help you out, but if you're willing to incubate a small clutch or have a broody hen, I could save up a few eggs to ship to you. I get one most days so far (each day since Friday except Monday--I'll probably find that one in the bedding sometime soon).
One small issue is that I'm pretty sure that the hen who started laying is the only one with a white spot on her breast--it's very small, maybe pea-sized. I don't think this is acceptable for show birds and I know it is never acceptable for drakes to have any white. She would likely not be bred by a serious breeder. They all have nice black feet and bills--some of the drakes just started to show a little dark orange tint to their feet, but it's hardly noticable and I believe it's acceptable as the birds age. They will be one year at the start of June.
Maybe someone can chime in regarding Cayuga show standards. I have no idea of the quality of type they are--I can hardly tell them apart! I've been trying to take some pics, but they're still a bit skittish. They're warming up to the mealworm treats, so better pics might be on the way.
Let me know soon if you're interested--I'm probably only going to hold her off from nesting for another week or so to ensure at least an April hatch. The boyfriend tired quickly of the ducky ICU in the garage when we had a possum attack a hen, so I'm trying to plan for minimum indoor housing when the ducklings hatch out. I'm thinking you could get the pair and if the hen goes broody, switch out my eggs for better quality hatchlings. I'm a softie for 4-H projects, so I'll give you a nice deal
