We have true Silver Appleyards, culling all non standard traits from small body to crests to off coloring.

they are the best layers of the meat class of duck, ours forage very well, and are not any where as loud as pekin.

I don't have either, but I love the Saxony ducks. I think their coloring is beautiful. According to Holderread, they are not as good as some, but are still good egg layers.

"Eggs & Meat: If you want ducks that combine good egg production and large meat birds of gourmet quality, we recommend Silver Appleyards and Saxonies. For high egg yields and excellent meat birds of medium size, Anconas, Harlequins and Magpies are hard to beat. Campbells, Hook Bills and Runners are lean, high-quality, medium-small meat birds when butchered in prime condition."
