Ducks-News

We really have turned into Ol'McDonald's farm! In the spring of 2006, we "adopted" three ducks and two chickens from a couple of college students. You guessed it, they were playing "Friends". This evolved into a few more ducks that we used to test and train for herding with the dogs, with the added bonus of fresh eggs!

In 2007 we added a few more and by 2008, it was a nice flock of Anconas and Khaki Campbells. Of course, why not show them? This in turn lead to a RBIS with our first Ancona Drake and the rest is history.

As with our goals of staying true to our heritage/rare breed program, the Anconas fit right in and are our main focus. Along the way we have also added Indian Runners(for their unique look), Apricot Dilute Khaki Campbells and Cayugas. Oh and yes Pekins(adopted from the school) and TD the Turkey.

We are still in the learning stages of the poultry business and are not afraid to say so. But having a firm foundation with some great mentors has given us a "wing" up on others. Please browse the site, let us know what you think and comments are welcome!

We occasionally have young stock available, fresh eggs and still test our cardigan puppies using the older dog wise ducks.
