SILVER APPLEYARD DUCKS:-The Silver Appleyard is a British breed of domestic duck.It was bred in the first half of the twentieth century by Reginald Appleyard, with the aim of creating a dual-purpose breed that would provide both a good quantity of meat and plenty of eggs. The Silver Appleyard is a "large, sturdily built duck" with a "blocky" physique and a prominent breast. When full grown it weighs between six and eight pounds. Drakes of this breed have a yellow or greenish-coloured bill which sometimes takes on a striated appearance when the duck is older. The drake has a chestnut red breast, flank, sides, and shoulders with white "frosting and lacing" and a "creamy or silvery white" underside. Drakes' wings are grey and white with a cross-stripe of bright blue. Their tail feathers are a dark bronze colour. Feet and legs are orange.

Benefits of ducks -As a source of meat Do you know?! That Duck meat is an excellent source of protein and protein keeps us healthy by building and repairing our muscles, skin and blood tissues. Duck meat is an excellent source of iron, providing 50% of the iron we need in a day. Iron helps make healthy blood that flows through our bodies, giving us energy and making us grow. It is considered red meat � just like beef as there is little/no difference in of looks and taste -As a source of eggs Did you know that a duck (depending on the breed) is capable of laying up to 350 eggs per year compared to that of chickens around 250 per year. Duck eggs are a larger than large-sized chicken eggs. With a yoke twice bigger than that of a chicken. They're also an excellent source of protein, fat, and a wide range of vitamins and minerals. -As a pet/free range livestock They help to keep weeds and grasses in check. They are hardy (low mortality rate compared to chickens) and require less cost of maintenance compared to chickens and lots more other benefits So what are you still waiting for?!

RYEOFARMS: Are Silver appleyards good mother’s and brooders |
carbon1224(m): 10:02pm On Sep 27, 2021 |
How much are the ducks per units and can we discuss on whatsapp

RYEOFARMS(m): 1:07am On Sep 28, 2021 |
Christistruth00:Generally, No they aren’t All mallard derived ducks are not good brooders 1 Like |
RYEOFARMS(m): 12:14pm On Sep 28, 2021 |
RYEOFARMS:Although some individuals are known to sit on their eggs but they hardly hatch them without human intervention The only other mallard derived breed I could vouch for in of brooding ability is the CAYUGA but I haven’t come across one here in Nigeria I’ve also had people testify that their PEKINS do sit on eggs but since I’ve been handling them I’ve not witness such they’ll rather drop their eggs and leave. But then again there’s a theory that if the ducklings are raised from birth by a broody hen or chicken they might grow up to adapt such attitude (the theory is baseless though I myself haven’t tried it) |

More Advantages of duck farming -Most people are not aware of the fact that ducks are quite easier to rear compared to chickens -Ducks have a low mortality rate and require less medical attention/treatment -Ducks produce close to 300 eggs per year making them much more economical -For breeders you can start with as low as 10 adult birds and end up with maximum of 2000 birds at the end of the year -When housing ducks all you need to do is provide a water source in or out of the barn and make it accessible to your birds -Ducks do not solely depend on humans for their feed that’s why it’s advisable and profitable to practice a free range farming for ducks. They are experts in getting their protein source needed to grow naturally (their favorite diet includes snails,oysters, worms,insects,grubs, small fishes e.t.c) -Foreign ducks do not fly away as their wing to body weight ratio doesn’t allow them to -Duck meat looks and tastes more like beef meat and the eggs are twice as big and protenous as chicken eggs. -Ducks will lay properly even if they’re not being fed with layers feed, just make sure they’re getting their required daily feeding/grazing...(to be continued) You can Ryeofarms today to get yours For more details and enquiries,you can Ryeofarms In WhatsApp: 0 8 0 2 6 4 9 6 0 8 9 Call: 0 7 0 5 4 2 3 5 9 3 1

RYEOFARMS: Rouens are good mothers and they are mallard derived ducks |
RYEOFARMS(m): 3:25pm On Oct 05, 2021 |
Christistruth00:There is a difference between being a good mother and being able to hatch their eggs on their own Well if you say so why not try it out and see for yourself?! They say experience is better than something you checked up online,it's a rare phenomenon to find a broody one that is willing to stay on the eggs till they hatch not all farmers can risk that but you can try If you can bear the loss.... I've been working with em for a while they'll rather lay their eggs and leave |
Christistruth00: 3:43pm On Oct 05, 2021 |
RYEOFARMS: I have seen Rouen ducks in London Parks before kept as Ornamental ducks they do hatch and care for their young that is why they multiply fast and effortlessly just like our Muscovy ducks |
RYEOFARMS(m): 4:37pm On Oct 05, 2021 |
Christistruth00:Hope you're not confusing Rouens with mallards cos they're very alike?! They both have the same coloration,it’s quite confusing if you don’t check out the features carefully |
RYEOFARMS(m): 4:57pm On Oct 05, 2021 |
Mallards (pic 1) Rouen (pic 2)

christistruth01: 7:32pm On Oct 05, 2021 |
RYEOFARMS: Rouens and Mallards look alike but the Rouens are proper heavy farmyard type ducks they are almost the size of geese Or like the Appleyard ducks Rouens are like four times the Size of the wild Mallards I don't think they can fly |
RYEOFARMS(m): 7:38pm On Oct 05, 2021 |
christistruth01: Rouens can’t fly but don’t compare them with the size of domestic geese except of course you mean wild geese because Rouens weigh btw 3.6-4kg in size while Domestic geese weigh up to 10kg Wild geese are much smaller though and weigh less |
christistruth01: 7:48pm On Oct 05, 2021 |
RYEOFARMS: I am not exaggerating but the ones near the London Botanical Gardens are the Size of geese these ones can't be less than 5 kg ( female) with little ducklings following them about, males are like 7 kg to 9 kg When I saw them I thought wpw we need these ducks in Nigeria they are slightly bigger than our own Muscovy ducks And they seem to be completely looking after themselves |
RYEOFARMS(m): 7:53pm On Oct 05, 2021 |
christistruth01:Wow I’d love to have something like that they’ve broken the standard of the Rouen already It’ll be nice to have them here in Nigeria sir. Plus you sound familiar?! Have we talked on phone/WhatsApp before?! 1 Like |
