Lost one of my boys a few weeks ago, he just never grew well, seemed to be almost dwarf like, much shorter neck than the other 1. Came out to find him dead in the run...all the other ducklings were fine. Hope this lad stays strong.

Sorry to hear about your duckling, do hope the others stay well and look forward to seeing more pictures..

No, genetically colour-wise they are reportedly the same as "silver" Welsh harlequins (no brown dilution); unless those in the states are different to those elsewhere, ie, Abacots are Harlequin Phase Duskies!

Here are some more of the critter growing up...with his runner duck pals...and his future ladies!

Here he is with one of his ladies...

Just chilling out

Strolling
