We raise Muscovy ducks. These are a very special breed of duck that is known for
it's large size (males can reach as much as 15 pounds when mature) and gourmet meat
qualities. It is also a wonderful pet duck that is both hardy and quiet.
Instead of quacking, most muscovies whistle, trill, or hiss. Only purebred muscovies
can reproduce and all other half-breeds are called "mules," typically bred only
for meat. We may experiment with a particular kind of muscovy mule in the near
future.
We feed our ducks a healthy premium diet custom-mixed here at the farm. We adjust
the ration as needed but it typically contains high-quality whole ingredients such as flax
seed, black oil sunflower seeds (BOSS), locally grown barley and oats, sea salt, salmon
meat, fat, and bone meal, kelp meal, brewer's yeast, rice bran, cracked corn, alfalfa,
brome, and timothy. They always have free-choice access to fresh, clean water and
grit. Although they are provided with a house and fenced yard, they often free
range at will, always staying on our property and under our care. Although rare, if
any duck should become ill, it is isolated and treated until it is healthy again. If
it must be administered medication, it's eggs and meat will not be included in our sales
supply. Thus our duck eggs and meat are always free of hormones,
antibiotics, and additives.
We are currently sold out of our meat ducks, spring ducklings, and duck eggs. You
may contact
us to have your name added to the notify list or check back with us throughout the
year as we raise our flocks at varying intervals.
