Winter 2008 Adult Sale List

(Updated March 21, 2008)

We are currently taking orders/reservations for adult stock which will be available later this year. (see Adult Birds Price List for full listing).  For adult stock needing to be shipped, birds will be available beginning in the fall when the weather has cooled down adequately for safe shipping.  Pick-up orders may be available earlier by appointment.

THE FOLLOWING FINE QUALITY MATURE BIRDS are available now for shipping or pick-up at the farm.  Some of the varieties offered here are extremely rare.   Those varieties followed by an asterisk* are sold only as adults.

TO INSURE THEIR HEALTH, our flocks are routinely blood tested and inspected by the Oregon Department of Agriculture.  Most birds offered here are 2007 hatched and all have been carefully graded according to their breed standards and are priced accordingly.  See Adult Birds Price List page for details of price categories.

IF YOU FIND ANY BIRDS listed below that you want,  reserve them by calling or e-mailing us.   We will hold them for you if payment is received within 5 workdays.

THANK YOU TO ALL who have purchased stock from the Preservation Center over the years and thus helped finance our mission to save some of the world's rarest varieties of domestic waterfowl from extinction.  We could not do this work without you!
