This is one of the breeds of duck developed in North America. It is a hardy and quiet breed. These ducks are best known for their plumage, which is a brilliant greenish-black. They are quite amazing to see in the sunlight.
Early in the season, Cayuga eggs are usually black or dark gray, fading to light gray or blue over the laying season.
