Description

Elegant, compact, and full of personality, Black East Indie ducklings are a favorite among waterfowl keepers looking for beauty and functionality in a small package. As one of the smallest duck breeds, Black East Indies are known for their rich black plumage with a beetle-green sheen and their calm, adaptable nature.

These bantam ducks are especially loved for their unique dark eggs, which range from charcoal to black early in the laying season and gradually lighten over time — a trait that makes them a standout in any egg basket.
