Punk and Goth are from Triple D Farms in Wasilla and reside at the Seward Alaska Hamptons, where they enjoy pushing the chickens around. Casmir Lorenz and Taylor Quales raised Punk and Goth, who seem to love bird dogs.
Goth and Punk are being shown in the Cayuga duck division at the Alaska State Fair in Palmer. They can be seen at the Poultry Barn August 26-31st.
The traditional story for the development of this breed is that a miller in Dutchess County, New York State captured two wild black ducks and used pinioning to keep them at his pond. The ducks were named “Cayuga” after the native people of that area. In 1874 the Cayuga duck was accepted into the American Poultry Association.
The American Livestock Breeds Conservancy lists the Cayuga as "threatened," meaning there is less than 1,000 breeding ducks in the United States.
