Title: Perth PH2: Two Cayugan-Aylesbury-cross drakes looking for a new home
Post by: Chrissie on February 17, 2014, 04:02:39 pm

Hi there,

The time has come…our male ducklings from last year are now too big for us to keep and need a new home – we have set ourselves 2 weeks and then the ‘new’ home will be our freezer…but I would rather see them going to a nice home because they are well handled, very handsome and would be good for breeding.

Please get in touch if you are interested and I can send some pics!

Thanks  :)?
Chrissie

Eat them! We had one of Cayuga drakes recently and he was tasty but lean - I can imagine even better with some Aylesbury bulk on them. Hard enough to sell on pure bred drakes for breeding anyway.
