If you've haven't already read our Farm News Update, we suggest doing so for information regarding which breeds we are discontinuing and other changes here.

THE FOLLOWING FINE QUALITY MATURE BIRDS will be available soon for shipping or pick-up at the farm. Some of the varieties offered here are extremely rare. Those varieties followed by an asterisk* are sold only as adults.

CUSTOMERS HAVE BEEN REPORTING MANY FINE WINS from the summer and fall shows. Just a few examples: we sent Gray Calls to a customer who received them on a Friday, he took to them to a show the next day and won Champion Waterfowl. Another customer won Reserve Bantam Waterfowl at the 2009 APA National in Illinois with a Black East Indie he raised out of a pair we sent him last fall. A Magpie out of our stock took Reserve Champion Waterfowl at the APA Semi-annual in Hamburg NY in May of this year. Our waterfowl have many generations of careful breeding behind them, which makes it possible for us to offer world-class show birds in addition to excellent foundation breeding stock to enrich your breeding program.
BECAUSE OUR MAIN MISSION has been the preservation of rare breeds, we have kept multiple strains of each breed we work with here at The Preservation Center. Unfortunately, due to the drastic increases in the costs of feed, bedding and other supplies needed to maintain such a large number of waterfowl matings, we are needing to reduce our number of breeding birds. This means we are offering some premium mature ducks and geese that in the past would have been kept for our breeding program.

TO INSURE THEIR HEALTH, our flocks are routinely blood tested and inspected by the Oregon Department of Agriculture. Unless a customer requests otherwise, we worm all birds leaving The Preservation Center with Ivermectin so that you will know the last time they were wormed. All the birds offered here been carefully graded according to their breed standards and are priced accordingly. See Adult Birds Price List page for details of price categories (please note that the Adult Birds Price List page still needs updating).

IF YOU FIND ANY BIRDS listed below that you want, reserve them by emailing or calling us.

THANK YOU TO ALL who have purchased stock from the Preservation Center over the years and thus helped finance our mission to save some of the world's rarest varieties of domestic waterfowl from extinction. We could not do this work without you!

At this point, we are getting customers on the waiting list for what will be available Fall 2021/Winter 2022. Let us know if you want to be on the waiting list. If the birds need to be shipped, we recommend first getting an idea of shipping costs since shipping can be quite expensive, especially to some areas.

Geese

Oregon Mini Geese (photo on left): We have been developing and breeding these small, domestic geese for more than a decade. They are heavily muscled, excellent foragers, fine natural parents and have been extra tame. We have them in a variety of colors including auto-sexing, gray, splashed, saddleback and belted and pure white. (All things being equal, the smaller they are, the higher the price.)

Ducks

Golden Cascade (photo): Cascades are excellent layers, produce gourmet quality meat and are naturally on the calm side. They typically weigh 5-7 pounds, and in many situations will lay as well as high-producing strains of Khaki Campbells and Welsh Harlequins. When Cascade drakes are mated to females of most other breeds, the resulting offspring are easily sex-able at hatching by their color and the resulting females are unsurpassed for high egg production.

Hook Bill Ducks: Contact us regarding current availability and/or to get in line for adults available Fall 2021/Winter 2022.
