Correct Welsh Harlequin Coloring?

I can only find Australia's and England's SOP. Both say "dark slate" for feet and bills.

I also looked back at pics of my duck, and her bill didn't get really dark until she got a little older.

How old are your ducklings? Here's Marmalade at 2 weeks. You can see her bill and feet are still greenish/orangeish

And here she is at 4 weeks. Much darker bill and feet. Her fet are nearly black now at 1.5 years.

Maybe yours will get darker?

my girls had yellow/orange bills and feet until they were a year old... then they gradually got darker. one of my ladies who is three still has orange/black mottled feet. But she's the one to go broody the fastest.

I *believe* so. Let's see of others chime in.

You can see my Welshies in my profile photo. They were generally lighter. After about a year their feet and bills went from orange to black. And generally, they got more of the brown in their feathers. Granted, I don't think mine were show quality, but they are great entertainment.
