The Magpie is originally from Britain and was first bred after World War 1 but their exact ancestry is not entirely known. Breeding documentation dates back to the 1920’s, and it has been said that their ancestry may have included the Indian Runner. Magpies were first exported to the United States in 1963. Today Magpies are commonly raised for showing although they were originally bred as a commercial utility bird for eggs and meat as their egg production is high and their breast feathers are white so the carcass plucks clean.
Magpies make a great addition to any yard with their black and white splash of color, their quiet nature, and their calm demeanor.

This is my first time with ducks. I ordered 2 females for backyard pets. They arrived very healthy. They arrived on September 20,2023. These girls are very smart and fairly quiet, unless you're slacking on treat time and they let you know. My girls like routines. They understand their names come when called. If I ever order again it will be from you.
I recently ordered 2 female in December along with Other breeds. I recently lost one (unknown death) but the other female is the sweetest girl. She is very relax, likes to be around people and held. I wish the other female made it because her personality was very sweet and I love this breed. I would recommend the magpies to everyone! They are a great breed!
2 of the 4 ducks we ordered from Metzer are Magpies. They are the sweetest ducks. One started laying at 4 months and the other a few weeks after. They have great production and one of them lays blue eggs which I love sooo much!! I just ordered 3 more Magpies.
