Absolutely, but last year we had about 60 hatch and only 10 survive !!! No sure exactly what or maybe not just one preditor but whatever it was wiping the out on grand style, batch of 10 chicks completely gone in 2/3 days.

No idea but they are quite common here now. They do well here, I started with about 12 given to me 2 years ago and now have almost 60, with some beautiful colours.
Showing my ignorance here but I'm fairly new to ducks, what's the harlequin gene ? If it is a snowy drake, is it likely to be fertile and if so, what will it produce ?
