Ancona Ducks

 The Ancona is a hardy, adaptable, all-purpose duck. They are excellent layers, typically laying 210-280 white, cream, or blue eggs annually. Their eggs may be larger as they mature. They don’t tend to get broody, though if they do, they are acceptable mothers. However, the best way to grow a flock will be to use an incubator. The Ancona also grows relatively quickly and produces high-quality meat that is more flavorful and less fatty than that of most Pekin ducks. If they are handled as young birds, they are especially good pets, and they don’t like to roam too far. They are not fliers.  

Ancona's were added to the farm in the Spring of 2022. The variety of colors that they come in have been fun to produce. Hatching eggs and ducklings will be available soon!
