At Game Fowls Ranch, our Silver Appleyard breeding lines are selectively bred for large body frame, broad breasting, clean silver-laced feathering, and gentle temperaments. Silver Appleyards are impressive layers for a heavy breed, producing 200 to 270 large white, cream, or blue-tinted eggs per year while actively foraging for snails, slugs, and garden pests across pastures.

Every duckling is hatched under precise forced-air incubator conditions and undergoes a complete physical evaluation prior to shipment to ensure active movement, clear eyes, clean vents, and complete yolk absorption.

To guarantee safe transit, ducklings are packaged in specialized, climate-ventilated poultry transport containers equipped with absorbent nest padding and temperature-regulating heat packs adjusted for weather along the shipping route.
