	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 DUCK 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 25 - June 7, 2011
		BLUE SWEDISH DUCK A very elegent bird that is similar in size to the Rouen duck. The odity 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 backyard flock.
		Welsh Harlequin Ducks The Welsh Harlequin is a fairly new breed, developed by Leslie Bonnett in Wales from two off-colored Khaki Campbell ducklings in 1949. They came to the United States in 1968 and were accepted into the American Poultry Association in 2001 in the Light Duck class. They are becoming a very popular breed due to their multipurpose characteristics. They have excellent egg production abilities due to their Khaki Campbell background yet retain the instinct to sit and hatch a nest full of ducklings. They are calm, inquisitive and excellent foragers. They seem to be the calmest bird on our farm.
	Below a Welsh Harlequin Flock They can also make an outstanding dressed bird as their underfeathers are almost exclusively white making their carcass as pretty as a pure white bird. Interestingly, they can be sexed after hatching with 90% accuracy by their bill color. Darker bills mean a male and lighter bills ending in a dark spot are normally females. Within several days this distinction disappears. They are also a beautiful bird, especially the feather patterns and colors on the adult females.
		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. order early as there is very limited numbers
