About the Farm
Background
Over time, the farm developed a passion for the natural beauty of mixed breed ducks and geese, appreciating their unique colors and patterns as a fine addition to the flock. The breeding flock was initially obtained through certified Metzer Farm, selected based on egg-laying ability, rarity of the species, plumage colors and patterns, and overall temperament.
Practices
The farm does not inbreed their ducks or geese, ensuring all hatchlings have non-related, pure breed parents. They do not force breed, allowing the ducks and geese to mix and mingle naturally while maintaining the specified breeds. The drakes and gander are always pure breed Cayuga, Ancona, and Sebastopols, and the ducks and geese include pure breed Cayuga, Ancona, Golden Layers, Welch Harlequin, Silver Appleyard ducks, and Sebastopols, African, and Chinese geese.
The Rest
Inspired by a paint-splashed artist's palette, the farm created the Artist's Palette mixed breed goslings and ducklings, which change colors as they age into adulthood. The ducks have easy-going temperaments and enjoy being hand-fed even as adults.
