DUCKS

 
 

PEKIN DUCK
By far the most popular duck for meat producer, these ducks are fast growing with a good feed conversion.

Available starting in April these little ducklings are often portrayed as those adorable little Easter ducklings.

 

 
  ROUEN
Originating from France this Rouen Ducks are remarkable similar looking to the more popular Mallard. One significant difference however is that the Rouen is said to have the most flavorful meat.  As layers they are moderate often producing eggs that are greenish in color.
Available May 20 - June 1, 2010
 
 

BLACK SWEDISH DUCK
A very elegant bird that is similar in size to the Rouen Duck.  The oddity of these birds is that only 50% hatch in the blue-grey,  25% hatch as silver ducklings and 25% hatch as black-white by crossing the silver with the black and white you obtain 100% blue-grey ducks.  This bird is very hardy and calm.  A great addition to your back yard flock.

  WHITE CRESTED DUCK
These ducks have a large white crest on their heads.  This is one of the most popular of the crested duck these birds lay quite well and can be good for butchering so they really do make a nice dual purpose duck and are very popular with children as they look different with the poof on their heads. 
 
 

ASSORTED INDIAN RUNNER DUCKS
The unique aspect of Runner Ducks is their slender, upright stance. This enables them to move around much more quickly than most other breeds of ducks. Because of their speed and herding instinct, Runners are often used for training sheep dogs. They originally came from Southeast Asia. Many different colors of Runners have been developed, including the fawn and white, the Black, Blue and Chocolate.

GEESE

 
  WHITE DANISH GEESE
This goose is ideal for meat production due to it's large size and rapid growth. it's white feathers make it more eye appealing when dressed, and the feathers are great for pillows. The white Danish goose can reach weights up 25 lbs. live at maturity.
 
 

TOULOUSE GOOSE
Many people first think of Toulouse when geese are mentioned.  They are fairly common, lay good number of fertile eggs and are a sturdy, durable breed.  They are one of the best breeds at hatching and raising their young.  This breed of goose was developed in France where the city of Toulouse is the region's center.  They were first exported to England in the 1840's and America in the early 1850's. Though they fatten up well if you want a good roasted goose, their darker pin feathers do not produce as attractive a carcass as a white goose. The advantage of the darker feathers is the adult birds appear neater and cleaner than a white goose if it is muddy or late in the season.
