Welsh Harlequin Duck hatching eggs. $3 Each or $35 per dozen Our ducks lay each morning in their nest box before they go out for the day. Our ducks are loved by our children and make great garden helpers who don't dig up the ground like the chickens but still eat slugs/bugs and make great fertilizer. Our pictures show our ducks as they age. Below is more information on the breed. Welsh Harlequin Ducks make docile backyard pets, small but productive egg layers Temperament: Curious, active forager, but also calm and not readily alarmed. Poor flier. Males have high libido and couples breed readily. Take care not to keep a high ratio of drakes to ducks as males may damage females. Popular Use: Dual-purpose for eggs (240-330 per year) and meat. Lean carcass. Pale feathers on the breast enable clean plucking. They are popular as pets and backyard ducks due to their placid nature. Drakes from egg-laying lines are used as sires for hybrid layers. Adaptability: Highly adaptable, efficient foragers. Does not fly. Type: Lightweight. Description: The bird has similar conformation to the Campbell, namely streamlined in shape with a relatively long body, a medium-width back, a rounded chest, wide-spaced legs with a moderately full abdomen, and an oval head with a medium-long straight, or slightly concave, bill. The medium-length neck is held nearly vertically. The body is held 20–35 degrees from horizontal as befits a good forager. The male has Mallard-like plumage: a dark head with a green sheen, a white collar, and chestnut shoulders breaking into a white frosted pattern over the back, wings, and down to a cream-white breast. The tail is black and bronze. The female has a cream head with fawn stipples, lacking eye-stripes. Her body, wings and tail are creamy-white with frosted brown and fawn markings. Conservation Status: Welsh Harlequin ducks are a heritage poultry breed on the watch list of The Livestock Conservancy.
