How to Order Your Ducklings
We hatch to order to ensure every duckling has a home. Choose the option that fits your flock:
Custom Hatch (15+ birds): We will schedule a dedicated hatch just for you. A $5/bird deposit is required to secure your date.
Small Batch Hatch (5–15 birds): We’ll trigger a special hatch specifically for your order.
The "Hitchhiker" Special (Under 5 birds): Perfect for adding a few birds to your farm! You can add these to any of our existing scheduled hatches or join our yearly community hatch.
Planning Note: For all custom and small batch hatches, please reach out at least 6 weeks in advance so we can prepare the incubator for your birds.

The Paragon Advantage
Sustainable Heritage Stewardship
When you choose our Anconas, you aren't just buying livestock—you are actively helping us save a rare heritage breed. Currently on the "Watch" list by The Livestock Conservancy, these beautiful birds depend on dedicated breeders to ensure their future. By integrating them into your farm or backyard, you become a vital part of their conservation story.
The Wyoming-Hardy Strain
We are committed to more than just preservation; we are perfecting the breed for the High Plains. Our flock is naturally disease-resistant and specifically adapted to thrive in our local Wyoming climate. This means you receive birds that are not only conservation-worthy but are rugged enough to succeed without intensive climate-controlled housing.
Backyard & Garden Benefits
Gentle Landscapers: Unlike other poultry that can be destructive, these ducks are gentle on vegetation and won't scratch up your flower beds while they work.
Worry-Free Containment: Their heavy, stocky build makes them completely flightless, allowing for simple 2-foot perimeter fencing to keep your conservation flock contained.
Fertilizer on Tap: Their waste is a nitrogen-rich "liquid gold," providing a closed-loop, sustainable composting system for your home garden.
