Any welsh harlequin and cayuga mixs

[Fisherlmiranda]

I'm adding some cayuga ducks to my little flock of welsh harlequins and I'm wondering if it's ok to let them breed and have mixed ducklings. And I'm also wondering if anyone has pictures of the two breeds mixed together. Thanks!

Right that's why I decided to ask the peeps here! From my research I've read that cayuga turn white with old age. So this may just be a old cayuga????

Even if it is just an old cayuga, I still think it's a beautiful duck! I'll be happy if mine look like that with old age

I do not have welshes or cayugs so I was just guessing that this might be one. It is so pretty tho...for sure!!

I'm kinda hoping that the Welsh and cayuga mix looks very similar to that! With maybe a blue wing tip!!

That would be so pretty!!!! I really am craving(want) a welsh now!!!

I was curious about the same thing and now I have some! I’m fairly certain the little grey ones are Welsh/Cayuga. They have green beaks with black tips (hoping that’s the mark of female). There are also Buff/Cayugas in the mix and one Khaki/Welsh, which is surprisingly the darkest one. I plan to update with pictures in the future. At this point, aside from the grey ones, I’m not sure what is what.

If green bills mean female I'm in hog heaven but not sure that's how it works.

I know it’s that way for pure Welshies, I just wonder if it carries over into mixed breeds.
