The Cayuga Duck gets its name from Cayuga Lake in New York, and is one of the few duck breeds that originated in the United States. Cayugas are quiet ducks, are very hardy, and are known primarily for their brilliant beetle-green coloring. Cayuga hens weigh around 4-5 pounds and lay a light blue or gray egg. Males average about to 6 pounds. Cayuga ducklings have black feet and bills, black down, and have an occasional trace of yellow on their breast. | Hoover's Hatchery Black Cayuga Duck St Run
