A Cayuga free-range domestic duck swimming in a stream by its farm in Issaquah, Washington, USA. The Cayuga duck is listed as “Threatened” on the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy’s Conservation Priority List. The Cayuga is a domestic duck raised in many home flocks for egg & meat production as well as pets. The Cayuga name is taken from Cayuga Lake, so called after a local Native American tribe in New York State where the breed was popularized. The species prefers vegetated, freshwater wetlands like its mallard cousins. The plumage is a beautiful jet black with an iridescent beetle green shimmer in the right light. The wing tips shine from green to deep purple as the light direction changes.
