Dusky Feathers Waterfowl

Welcome to Dusky Feathers Waterfowl, located in Manitoba, Canada.

We’ve been keeping ducks for a number of years now, focusing on restoring and preserving heritage breeds, with a parallel interest in the science of color genetics and discovering more about the complexities that create all the different phenotypes we are so familiar with.

The breeds we’re currently focused on are:

  • Indian Runners

  • Saxony

  • Cayuga

Breeding programs are planned carefully to improve quality, generation after generation. Our ducks enjoy a healthy, natural environment with ample opportunity to forage, providing us with excellent hatching eggs and robust ducklings.

Pre-orders will be opening SOON!!

The kids are back at school, all the lambs are out grazing the fall pastures with their mommas, and it’s once again time to play with DUCKS!

The good news….

  • Pre-orders are scheduled to open on Wednesday, October 1st!

  • As usual, there will be some changes to the selection of breeds available, with at least one new breed on offer for 2026!

The bad news….

  • We did have some terrible trouble with a fox and a mink this year, so some breeding groups will be in recovery due to numbers having been so decimated that they’ll have to be re-established before eggs will be available.

Stay tuned!!!!
