The Duck Lady

The Duck Lady The Duck Lady is a small family owned and operated duck, goose and chicken breeder located in Central NC. Our breeders are our pets.

The Duck Lady is a small family owned and operated duck, Sebastopol and dewlap toulouse goose and chicken, ringneck pheasant and coturnix quail breeder in Garner NC. We specialize in purebred ancona ducks of all colors, snowy call ducks, sebastopol geese, dewlap toulouse geese and deathlayer chickens. We started out with just 4 ducks and instantly fell in love with these animals. In November of 20

19, we decided to start hatching ancona ducklings. Anconas are a dual purpose breed not only known for their excellent lay rates and their meat, but also for their temperament, beauty and foraging ability. Since then, we have added snowy call ducks, geese and chickens. We only do small hatches weekly during the laying season of each breed and while weather still permits the babies to feather out before it gets really cold. Since we are not a hatchery but a home breeder that does not do large scale hatching, we can give each baby attention and a healthy start for as long as it takes for them to find their forever homes. Each fluff butt is started on Vitamin B Complex, Vitamin E and probiotics the day they hatch in order to ensure that you get healthy and happy additions to your flock. Because we started with a mixed flock of Rouen, White Layer, and Pekin, we still hatch a few mixes when requested. We have also added Welsh Harlequin, cyuga and khaki campbell to that mix as well. Each has a name and a personality that we love and we hope that they will provide you with all the joy and entertainment (AND EGGS!) that they provide us! Ancona ducklings, 2 days old to 2 weeks old are 8 each, 3-4 weeks old are 10 each, older than 1 month and mature drakes (when available) are 15 each - laying females (when available) are 30 each
Hatching eggs are 30/dozen

Snowy calls, 2 days old to 1 month old are 10 each. Older drakes are 15 and older hens are 30 each. Hatching eggs (when available) are 40. Mixes (ducks) can be any combination of the following:
Rouen, White Layer, Pekin, Welsh Harlequin
2 days to 2 weeks old are 6 each, 3-4 weeks old are 8 each, older than 1 month and mature drakes (when available) are 12 each - laying females (when available) are 20 each
Hatching eggs are 20/dozen

And the hatching has begun! It's not too late to get on the waiting list for sebastopol babies. If you don't have geese yet, get some. You'll LOVE these feather puppies more than you know.

This one broke my heart. If anyone can help today, call the Smithfield animal shelter or the number on this post

Long post but PLEASE READ

Waiting list clarification:
1. Hatch dates are not currently known. The girls will lay as they wish and we are at their mercy.
2. We cannot guarantee which are the parents of which babies. They field breed. I have some girls that are related and some boys that are related but none of the girls are related to the boys.
3. Sebastopol goslings are $60 each and are not sexed. If you want sexed grow-outs, it is all dependent on if there are any left to grow out at the end of the season (didn't happen last season) and the prices change for grow-outs.
4. There is a minimum of 2 unless you have a gosling of the same age (within a week on new hatchlings). No, you cannot have just one goose to protect your chickens. Yes, people do that, but it is not in the best interest of the goose. Jane Goodall lived as a single human with primates too. It can be done, but should it?
5. We have 2 smooth breasted girls. This means that you could also receive smooth breasted geese. Smooth breasted Sebastopol take longer for their curly feathers to mature (sometimes up to 2 years). We don't mislead anyone about the presence of smooth breasted in our flock and we don't breed smooth to smooth.
6. If you are on the waiting list, you will be contacted just before, during or shortly after hatching. If you contact us through Facebook, you will receive a message through Facebook. Text reservations will receive a text message; email for email, and so on, unless you specify a different method. Reservations are forfeit if we do not hear back from you within 3 days.
7. We aren't butt holes. We understand that "stuff" happens and life can be unpredictable. If you need to move your reservation, that's fine. Just communicate with us and we will work with you to the best of our ability. Just note that we don't always have enough goslings to fill reservations at the end of the season.
8. We don't take deposits. We don't get anything until you get something. It's just good business practice in our opinion.
9. Know that service does not end at the point of sale. We do this because we love it. We keep prices low because we aren't in it to make money, at least not more than it takes to care for all our feathered friends. If you have questions or need something after the sale, just reach out. There's no fees or strings attached. We are always happy to help and this includes any breeds you have even if you didn't get them from The Duck Lady. This may be a business but it is driven by love.

First, we would love to wish everyone a wonderful holiday season and a Happy and prosperous new year. Second, THE WAIT LIST IS OPEN!!! 😁

The sebastopol have started laying and we have confirmed fertility! The waiting list for Sebastopol goslings is officially open. Keep in mind, this is just the start and not all are laying yet. It's been a strange year for them laying so we don't know how many we will get or if they will take a break. There are only a few fertile eggs in the incubator right now. Most eggs are from Charlie, Sue and dot. Cleo laid an egg yesterday.

On this week's episode of "As the Egg Turns"....
The floor of our feed shed rotted out and needed replaced and Toby has decided that he is going to help build the new floor. The quail all decided to escape this week (TWICE!!) so chasing them through the woods and briars was interesting. Sue is officially in love with Malfoy. She didn't even want to go to the feed store and even had an attitude with everyone the last time she went. That's strange because she absolutely LOVES going to the feed store and all the attention she gets. The love triangle between Charlie, Hagrid and Hans is getting complicated. Hagrid must have called Hans' mother a chicken because they got into a fight through the breed separation fence. And just to rub dirt in the wound, Charlie is laying her egg right beside the breed separation fence today. The dewlaps have been playing "how many of us can fit into a pool at one time?" and impressively, they did manage to all fit in one pool once.
And today is Betty White Dogs 1st birthday! Happy birthday miracle puppy! She made it through abandonment at only hours old, problems bottle feeding and an ICU hospitalization for a UTI at 2 weeks old (usually a death sentence). Now if we can just get her to stop digging holes, eating goose eggs and trying to remove the squeakers from the ducks!

I think we are going to have to start a new soap opera..... Maybe "As the Egg Turns"?
Anyway, Hagrid is in love with Charlie but Charlie is making eggs with Hans this week. Malfoy is in love with Sue. Spot and Diane are in love with me but, alas, I have to tell them that it just won't work out. Cleo does not care about boys at all. She is just interested in where the best snacks are. Duck (that's the Sebastopol ganders name) just wants to fight me.
That's just the geese.
The pigeons; Loki, Sweet Baby and Lucy are all in love with my son (or whoever has the pitcher of food).
We've got a little th*****me of 2 roosters and a hen that are inseparable - no judgement - and the ducks are oblivious to it all and just enjoying the nice weather recently.

So that happened... It looks like the geese are starting early. We will be separating breeds early now. This little butt nugget is the product of Hagrid and Charlie so if it hatches, it will be a dewlap sebastopol mix.

Just as a little bit of fun for the start of the off season (mostly off, we still have ducks and some ducklings), let's see who would like to share their favorite pictures from their "The Duck Lady" birds. We would absolutely love to see them now!
I'll start...

Here are our final 2025 Sebastopol and dewlap toulouse parent flocks. The Sebastopol and dewlap toulouse are enjoying hanging out together before they are separated for breeding season. We have some beautiful colors of Sebastopol coming in the spring!
They will be separated into 2 different breeding areas; one for Sebastopol and one for dewlap toulouse. Offspring will come from field breeding, meaning that we don't monitor which babies come from which specific parents. We have mostly full curly sebastopol with the exception of 2 smooth breasted, color carrying females. The other females are white, buff, buff saddleback blue splash and gray. Most of our white females are color carriers. Our males are blue splash, gray, gray saddleback and buff. The color combinations are sure to bring amazing offspring!
Since this past season was all but a bust, we spent our time and energy on building a better parent flock to offer more variety and genetics. We searched multiple states and are pleased with what the future may bring from our choices of new birds.
We also have a new dewlap toulouse boy, Hagrid. He is from prize winning stock and we look forward to his beautiful prodigy.

We have a beautiful bachelor flock available and ready for new ponds. A bachelor flock makes the best pets.
