My grandmother was selling English Waltons -- not sure if they are ducks or chickens, but cant find them on google. Anyone know anything about them? This was in 1910 or so. Thanks!

ok, cant seem to be able to down load a photo, so put the article I wanted to share in my profile photo---this is from the newspaper article my grandmother won some prizes for her ducks, Oct. 1913. She won for her white and fawn penciled Indian Runners, strange looking ducks! and for her white Pekin,These are some other entries, in Riverside, Calif. thanks, just wanted to share

Looks like it is the name of a breeder of Runner ducks, there is an ad in the 1912 American Poultry Advocate for them ...

White Eggs from genuine penciled Runners, English Walton stock. A— 12. $'2.00; B— under 2.1, 10c each; 30, $2.75. M. A. Newell, Durham. N. Y.
