It's hard to believe, but two beautiful Cayuga ducks now live on our farm! They are all black, with a green to purply sheen in the sunlight. We chose just one drake (male) and a hen (female), with hopes of hatching out eggs next summer. They are very docile, quiet, and easy so far! I feel like I've purchased a vacuum for the garden. We let them out in the pumpkins this evening and were amazed at their exceptional vision in spotting bugs and vacuuming them up with their broad bills. They didn't go far, always sticking together. We enjoyed watching them. It made for a peaceful and relaxing summer evening to be remembered when the winter winds blow!
