The Welsh Harlequin is a fairly new breed, developed by Leslie Bonnett in Wales from two off-colored Khaki Campbell ducklings in 1949. Welsh Harlequin Ducks are very calm, inquisitive and excellent foragers who are hardy in all climates. They can also make an outstanding dressed bird as their under-feathers are almost exclusively white making their carcass as pretty as a pure white bird. Interestingly, they can be sexed after hatching with 90% accuracy by their bill color. At hatch darker bills are male and lighter bills ending in a dark spot are normally females, but within several days this distinction disappears. They are also a beautiful bird, especially the feather patterns and colors on the adult females. Welsh Harlequin's are known for being broody and are good mothers. Like most domestic ducks, the Welsh are capable of flying very short distances, if at all. Discover these baby ducklings for sale today.
