I sure hope it is a WH hen! I would love to have one! If it is a splash swedish what is it more likely to be?

id say hen if she is a swede

Now my ducklings are 6 weeks old and how they have grown and changed!

This is Janner. I think it is a Welsh Harlequin but is it a hen or drake?

This is Splash.

Free ranging.

Swimming.

Janner is really neat-looking!

That's all I can help you though - I do agree with you that Janner's a WH. I hatched 3 WH this year from eggs I got at a swap (they were supposedly from Holderreads stock - they had Saxony and Cayuga hatching eggs too), but I ended up selling them when they were about 3 weeks old so that I could concentrate on some of my other breeds more.

This is just after I took the first two out of the 'bator (I helped the last one out a little the next day). They all had dark bills when they hatched (and they were still dark three weeks later when I let them go):

And here they were three weeks later, just before they were picked up (the little scuzzballs were a bit dirty

):

How cute! Foraging through the grass!

It is a Welsh Harlequin. Not sure on gender though.

The dark bill says GIRL but those orange feet say BOY. What does it sound like? It should be either getting raspier and quieter (boy) or making weird broken squeaky toy noises along with a few quacks (girl) by now.

I have a harlequin growing out right now that looks similar to that one...and its a girl.

You should be able to tell by the quacking by now

I am so confused with this duck. I thought I heard it whistle and I thought I heard it quack. It's bill is getting lighter than it was even though it still looks dark.
