Our mallard are renowned for their flying capabilities.

The breeding flock consists of 12000 females and 3000 drakes into which we introduce a proportion of caught up wild drakes.

These mallard are kept in 40’ X 40’ pens for the laying season at a ratio of 40 females to 10 males.

We also have a small breeding flock of Danish mallard; these are smaller than our regular mallard and extremely wild. These pure Danish are ideal for those ponds where regular mallard are reluctant to fly.

In addition to this, we have carefully introduced some of the Danish blood into our larger flock to boost the wild instinct of our strain and improve stamina.

All our ducks are vaccinated against duck plague and salmonella

MALLARD EGG PRODUCTION

Our hatchery has the capacity to set 57000 mallard eggs each week, all of which are from our own production. We do not buy duck eggs or supply ducklings from anywhere else.

Our laying flock of 12,000 female and 3,000 drake mallard are all over wintered. For egg production they are penned at 40 females and 10 drakes in 40ft x 40ft pens and eggs are collected once a day – usually mid-afternoon.
