Hatcheries with welsh harlequins?

How far are you willing to travel? I have show birds. I have a drake that has won many awards at both county and state 2 years running. Best of breed, best light duck best of class, and this year he also took reserve grand champion of the show. I kept one of his sons and he is also showing well.
His mother laid 348 eggs a year, and his offspring has laid 292 so far... But, I'm in Florida.

Willing to sell for $70 or $55 for his son. (Will only sell one)

Ooh wow! I would love to buy but as of right now I can't spend that much on a drake. Once I've started up and begun showing myself I would love to buy ducks from your lines! Those are fantastic numbers!

I think I'm going with hatching eggs, it would be easier than keeping a drake with no hens and waiting to hatch some out. I definitely want a good drake though so after I hatch eggs if I don't have an awesome drake I'll be looking for one.

@Michael P do you have pictures of your hens?

I have a male I just hatched today, in Beaumont, TX. (Southeast, TX) and my friend also sells fertile welsh eggs in Buna, Tx.

Small world.....we live in Port Neches.

Hello! New to BYC, I desperately want more welshies but don't know where to get any. I already have four from a local breeder but I'm pretty sure her stock is from metzer. I DO NOT want to order from cackle, metzer, myer, or murray mcmurray. My reasons being that their info pages state that welsh harlequins lay 100-150 eggs per year but I want mine to do much better, also a lot of their stock has yellow billed girls (I already have one). Anyone know of breeders in texas or good hatcheries to order from?

this is an old thread, but are you still looking? I just found a clutch my Welshie had squirreled away. I'm goign to goahead and let her keep brooding. I'm in East Texas if that helps.

I may consider since my welshie Drake has only three hens atm, and he's being a bit too rough.
Do you have pics of the parents?

That is all the same drake. I only keep one drake. The girls had yellow bills and got darker as the grew up. The single girl in photo is 3 and the other girls are 1 One did originally have one that kept her orange feet but none of the recent generation have that. I’m not sure how duck genetics work on leg and bill color.
