Welsh Harlequin

[DuckRaiser]

Do they tame easily? Are they good pets? Are they nice to other birds? Do they often go broody?

I just order 10 WH duckling from Holderread farm. They will be shipped in April. I am very excited! I was wondering if they can fly? Thanks Diane

They can get off the ground about 2 to 3' and fly about 10'. They are really to bottom heavy for flying. They start laying eggs about 6 to 7 mos. The females should have almost black beaks around 7 mos and the legs should have started to slowly change by 7 mos. Sometimes it takes up to a year to get really good darker legs.

Well, are ALL welsh harlequin males green headed?

They should be, but if they are juveniles or going through an eclipse molt they may not

Hmm, I don't really like the green heads on all of them

Then maybe this breed isn't the breed for you? They are supposed to be a handsome emerald green
