The Colors In Each Breed are:
We offer a small selection of Waterfowl as well. We dont have a large pond in wich many breeds of ducks and geese require to live a healthy and productive life so we keep our numbers down and only raise what we have the means for. Ricks favorite Muscovy ducks and my favorite Sebastopol geese.
Muscovy Dukcks, as domestic ducks go, are an odd duck. It is decended from the wild Muscovy, a native duck of South and Central America that does not migrate and is able to perch and nest in trees, thanks to its large feet and extremely sharp toe nails. They have a lumpy red skin about thier face known as (caruncles) when they are mature. There are four originated colors varieties: Black, Blue, Chocolate, and White.
We have many colors of Muscovy ducks to choose from. Blacks, Whites, Blues, Chocoates, and Silvers. All available in Pieds and Splashes as well. Muscovy are a must have to help with the fly and insect populations, also if you flowers and shrubs seem to be getting just the right amount of buds on them to make them full and gorgeous your muscovies will trim them right down for you. They are an extremely large duck with the size ranging from 9lbs and up. They are a very popular choice for a meat duck. They dont quack like normal ducks, and have very good temperments.
Sebastopol Geese, are originated from Southeastern Europe. They are kept primarily as ornamental birds and pets due to their long wavy feathers that are up to four times longer than the feathers of other breeds. They are a medium size goose of around 15 to 21 pounds, have greate personalities and are very hardy through the tough Nebraska weather. These buetiful geese are on the threatend list and you dont see them every day, if you are interested in breeding let me know, I have two unrelated trios.
We have a couple breeds of Game birds as well. Pheasants and Turkeys.
We have 3 breeds of pheasants that we mess around with and more or less just have because we like these specific colors. We dont have a large breeding program with them and dont supply alot of chicks for sale. We run trios of Black Mutants, Reds, and Green Pieds. We mostly enjoy to sit and listen to them call during mating season. They are a magnificent bird to sit and watch as they scury about the cage, in and out of shrubs and grasses.
Okay now we start my infatuation with turkeys. Narragansett's. They were a very popular breed in New England during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the Narragansett commanded respect in the mid-Atlnatic states and the Midwest because they are a very calm, broody, and greate meat quality bird, not to mention absolutely stuning in color. But by the 1950's its numbers had plummeted and they nearly became extinct. They still to this day stand critical at a coservation status. I will be selling babies in the early summer months if you would like babies.
And last but not least I purchased a pair of Emus (Fred and Ethel, One of the few last living Dinosars. We were at Mike and Vals swap meet and a friend asked me to look for an Umbrella Cockatoo. Okay no problem, I thought. I came across a gentelmen who had exactly what she was looking for except he wanted to make a deal. Take this Cockatoo, Red Crown Conure, and them two emu for a very cheap price so yes I did it. They were only babies then and I thought well it cant be that bad. And then they grew and grew and grew som more. So now I have a breeding pair of Jurassic Park chickens that you couldnt talk me into trading for just about anything. Hoping to get eggs soon.
