Each year I hatch ducks with my pre-schoolers. This year we chose Cayugas because several African American children in my class have begun identifying with various black animals; we had a wonderful experience incubating the eggs and, when they hatched we incorporated a two week lesson plan about black and white animals. This crossed over, of course, to sociology and lessons about the similarities and differences among all people. We have kept a pair of the black Cayugas to watch them mature. They are friendly and calm and stay very close to their home all the time. They are quite tame and eat the children love letting them eat out of their hands and watching them swim in their own pool. Thanks Murray McMurray for helping my kids have another very positive learning experience!

I am very plaesed with my shipmint of Cayuga duck eggs. They were in great condition and now I have 12 healthy birds.
