Cayuga Description

A Cayuga Duck is a breed of domesticated duck used for egg and meat production as well as an ornamental bird. The Cayuga name is taken from Lake Cayuga in New York State where the breed was popularized. The traditional story for the development of this breed is that a miller in Dutchess County captured two wild black ducks and used pinioning to keep them at his pond. The offspring of this pair was prized for flavorfull meat and breeding efficiency.

Adult Cayuga ducks weigh approximately 6 pounds, and are characterized by a black bill and black plumage which is an iridescent beetle green in the correct light. The Cayuga duck has black shanks and toes. Ducklings have black plumage.

This breed of duck is listed as threatened by the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy.
