Did you know?🧠💡

Ducks have a special circulation system called countercurrent heat exchange that helps keep their legs warm in winter. Warm blood flowing from the body transfers heat to colder blood returning from the feet, so less heat is lost to the cold ground or water. This allows ducks to stand on ice or swim in freezing water without their legs getting too cold.

🌿 Duck of the Day: Willow 🌿

Say hello to Willow, our gorgeous Hybrid 300 girl. The Hybrid 300 breed is a cross between the Black Swedish and Khaki Campbell and is known for being one of the most efficient egg-laying ducks in the world. They’re hardy, adaptable, curious, and often a little extra food-motivated… which Willow proudly embodies.

Willow may not be the alpha of the flock, but she carries herself with a calm, confident presence. With her soft caramel coloring, she blends the best traits of the Hybrid 300: hardworking yet laid-back, and reliable.

🐦 Duck Spotlight: Misty the Blue Swedish 🐦

Meet Misty, our elegant Blue Swedish duck and queen of the homestead! With her soft slate-blue feathers and bright white chest, she’s a stunning example of this heritage breed.

Originating in Sweden in the 1800s, Blue Swedish ducks are loved for their calm personalities, beautiful coloring, and hardy nature. They’re great foragers, gentle around people, and reliable layers, producing around 120–180 eggs per year in lovely blue, green, or white shades.

Misty is a curious girl who brings beauty and calm energy to our flock every day. 🩵

Baking with Duck Eggs 🥚👩🏻‍🍳

Duck eggs have richer yolks and more protein than chicken eggs, which makes baked goods extra fluffy, moist, and flavorful.

These Apple Cinnamon Coffee Cake, Rosemary Garlic Dinner Rolls, and Double Chocolate Chip Muffins were all made with duck eggs from my own flock. There’s just something special about baking with what you’ve raised yourself.

🥚 Eggs of Every Size! 🥚

One of the joys of raising a mixed flock is discovering how unique each duck’s eggs can be! No two are quite the same — in color, shape, or size — and we love the daily surprise our girls leave for us. 💛

Every egg tells a little story about its layer — from size and color to personality and routine. Together, they make a beautiful mix that reminds us that nature doesn’t do “uniform,” and that’s exactly what makes it so special. 🦆💚

🌸 Duck of the Week: Nellie the Welsh Harlequin 🌸

Say hello to Nellie, our beautiful and soft-spoken Welsh Harlequin! With her creamy white feathers brushed with caramel and chocolate speckles, Nellie looks like a little work of art gliding through the grass. 🦆✨

Nellie is our most cautious girl, always keeping a gentle distance until she feels safe. She prefers quiet corners of the yard where she can watch the world, but when she’s with her flock, she’s perfectly content, following along with the group.

Despite her shy nature, Nellie blesses us with plenty of lovely pale cream eggs. She may be timid, but she’s a steady layer and a quiet contributor to the homestead’s daily rhythm.

Mable the Silver Appleyard! 🦆✨

Meet Mable, our stunning Silver Appleyard! Known for her beautiful silver and chestnut plumage, Mable is as elegant as she is friendly. Silver Appleyards are a rare heritage breed originally developed in England for both their beauty and utility!

She’s a curious forager who loves exploring the yard and chatting with the rest of the flock. When she’s not splashing in the pond, she’s busy providing us with plenty of large, white eggs, up to 200–270 per year! 🥚💛

Mable is both a farm favorite and a wonderful ambassador for her breed.
