Only two ducks have the potential to lay black eggs and the Cayuga is one of them. We started raising this breed about seven years ago to help with preserve this breed as it was listed as at risk on the livestock conservancy list. These ducks are incredibly friendly and very hardy in cold or hot weather. #homesteading #duck #egg #farm #selfsufficient #growyourownfood #homestead #home #black #garden | The Heath Stead

WAY too excited about this. My Cayuga hen has started to lay and I found her egg! As these are her first eggs of the season, the black pigment has been heavily deposited onto the shell. As the season continues, the printer ink starts to run out - if you will, and the colour lightens to green and then white (in my experience!). I’ve had Cayuga hens before, but I’ve never seen the black eggs, only green - so this is super exciting to me. Y’all know I love a good science experiment so I wanted to s
