Welsh Harlequin: Genetics and breeding quality question

[GraceHomestead]

Hello Everyone,
I have enjoyed building up my flock this summer. I LOVE the WH ducks! They are great at foraging and have some great personalities. They come when I say "peep, peep, peep" and I love to sit and watch them.
At the moment I have 13 WH ducks.
{Gold:1Drake & 5 ducks}
{Silver: 1Drake & 6 Ducks}
Both my drakes and a few ducks are in the middle of their summer molt so at the moment they are all together. I have one silver female that has a dark head. I am hoping after her molt she will lighten up....I would LOVE some input on the looks of my flock. I want to be able to offer hatching eggs come next spring. ANY info would be helpful! Thanks and Happy Homesteading!

They really are beautiful. I'm just dying to add a WH to my flock - just not sure I want to start over with ducklings again.....

They’re beautiful! What happens if you breed gold female to silver drake? What color are ducklings? Mixed?

Wait till they get a little older and post some more pictures. Don't breed females that have eye stripes, and select for females that have a distinct hood. Read the standard of perfection and select according to it... Nice looking birds, BTW. Good luck
