supply us with a fair amount of veggies which I can and preserve. I am currently incubating

Muscovy Ducks

Kelly's Black and white (on the left) and Lavender (on the right)

I might be biased but in my opinion Muscovy ducks are the best Begging Duck if you live in a city or if you have close neighbors the do not quack at all the only reasons my neighbors know i have them is because when they where little they used to go under the fence into their yard and perch on my fence.

Ravens View Farms

Belgium Quail D Anvers is what we raise. They are very good mothers, prolific egg layers during

the season and are very friendly no matter how they were raised. They all have personalities and a social 

standing and they are my favorite breed on our farm.
