A review on: Aylesbury
cowgirlHH

Pros: they are white , fluffy , good at laying eggs ,seem freindly .... this is my opinion

Cons: they can be noisy , cost money , need to be taken care of :)

seem like a good breed, if i had the room i would probably raise a batch of them they seem like they would be a good 4h starter show bird...considering i dont see many of this breed in my class ... that breed looks like a reserve champion waiting to happen

“ They are very nice to me. They defend everything that gets to close to their ducks. They are nice to my chickens as well. They help the littler ducks when the male adult duck starts chasing them around. The male is very messy and funny with water. ” --marvun22

No matter what anyone tells you, they will not die if not kept...” --TehLizardKing
