Our ten ducks are egg-producing insect control! They are free-ranging, able to roam throughout the property and a delight to watch. The pond is one of their favorite spots. The flock "spokesduck" is Jill, a fawn Indian Runner Duck. Jill is brooding a nest of eggs, hoping to hatch out some ducklings.
Our seven-year-old son, Keil, is our duck wrangler. He loves everything to do with birds, and is a Greenwing member of Ducks Unlimited.
If you are local, and would like duck eggs for the table or incubating, give us a call. We can also blow and ship clean eggs for craft purposes.
Runner Ducks are a "watch" breed on the American Rare Breeds Conservancy Trust Conservation Priority List. They are prolific layers, outlaying most breeds of chickens! To learn more about them, cut and paste this link into another browser window:
