The Cayuga is a hardy, American heritage duck breed known for its iridescent, beetle-green black feathers, calm temperament, and unique dark eggs that lighten as the season progresses. Originally developed in New York, they are excellent foragers, good for both meat and eggs, and popular for exhibitions due to their striking appearance, though their dark feathers can make plucking . difficult. I will pack very well to avoid breakage. Email any questions please. 12 eggs only!
