White Star Hybrid Duck

The White Layer was developed several years after the Gold Star Hybrid after many of our customers requested a a white egg-laying duck. White Star Hybrid ducks are foragers and very good layers — averaging 230-290 eggs per year. These ducks have equal egg production to the Gold Star Hybrid. All of the progeny of the White Layer are white. They will average 4-6 pounds when fully grown.
