Muscovy Ducks
Originating in South America and Mexico, the domesticated Muscovy duck is one of the few breeds NOT related to Mallards, so if crossbred with other breeds will produce a sterile Mule-Duck.
Drakes will reach up to 15lbs, while Hens weigh in at about 9lbs at maturity. Nice large calm ducks, that comunicate with hisses and quiet squeaks, tail-wagging and head-bobbing.
Hens are great mothers, and largest batch of ducklings we had to-date from our girls was 22!
Currently we work mainly with Blue, Black, Chocolate and Silver.

Pilgrim Geese

This breed has been with us for just over a decade, and we look forward to working it for many more years. Calm and quiet(as far as geese go), Pilgrims are very easy to work with, the hens lay around 30-40 eggs a year, and will hatch 2 clutches in a season if you let them.

In north America only available in either Grey or Buff saddleback, but in Europe also come in solid White and Grey. A nice utility goose, that is easy to raise. Average of about 30 eggs a year.
The Pomeranian can be a somewhat more excitable and chatty goose, very suitable as an early warning system/watchdogs.
