The Cayuga breed is thought to have been developed from the wild Black Duck breed near Lake Cayuga in New York. Prior to the arrival of the Pekin breed, they were the bird of choice for meat production in the Northeast. Once the Pekin arrived with its white feathers and cleaner appearing carcass, the Cayuga quickly lost its appeal. They have a very brilliant "beetle" green
sheen to their feathers. This is especially evident on the head of the male. As they age, however, Cayuga become almost all white and their black legs turn orange which occurs much quicker in females than males.
