Larry Doll begins to incubate the Silver Appleyard eggs

 

We are raising Silver Appleyard & White Pekin ducks for the 2008 season.

Our 2008 price for Duck is $3.00/lb.

They come cleaned and packaged whole by a licensed processor, wrapped in a strong plastic bag, suitable for freezing.

For those of you that pre-ordered a duck, we expect them to be ready for pickup in the evening of July 10, 2008.

 

 

 

The Silver Appleyard breed was developed in the 1930's and brought to the US in the 1960's. It is a good meat bird, flavorful and not fatty.

The Silver Appleyard is a heritage bird, listed as critical by the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy. (See description of Heritage Breeds on our turkey webpage.)

Many people say they don’t know what to do with a duck.
