what is the harlequin personality like? these are really friendly

Welsh Harlequins are friendly, goofy and curious. ANd yes, I am pretty sure those are Welsh Harlequins. I have 8 running around my pen right now

(had 2 more but they got a new home already)​

Hello Robin!!!
The pics posted by Heidi are perfect!!! I'd post some of my own pics....but I'm not sure how to post pics on these forums (will have to learn soon). Anyway, I've had Anconas born here that looked very similar to yours......most of the time they're spotted but I've had pure whites born also. They could possibly be Harlequins!! Whatever they are they will bring many smiles into your life. Currently I have 110 ducks.....and I love every one of them.

I'd say they're Welsh Harlequins. Furthermore, I'd say you have one little boy and one little girl, based on the first few pictures you posted when they were little - female Harlequins have orange-pink bills upon hatching, and male Harlequins have solid dark-colored bills upon hatching.

Here are some of my Harlequin babies (their heads were a little crusty-dirty in the last picture; all three are boys, and they're scuzz-buckets who don't like to bathe

):

I would say WH also, as I have 2 2wk old ones running around right now. Only thing is...you said yours were 2 wks old, they look teeny for 2 wks and I agree the bill looks smaller than mine too.

This is them at 4 days old

This is them at 10 days

This is them at 16 days old (just over 2wks)... PLEASE excuse their scraggly-ness they are starting to get their feathers and JUST got out of the bath.

I caught them during preening.

I think this girl is going to be breathtaking!!

Hello!!!
Consensus says Welsh Harlequins......definitely go with that one!!! I've only had a few Harlequins.......they're now 6 years old. It's been a while since they were babies. They're really fantastic ducks.

hi everyone- here they are today- getting a bit color- real scragaly looking- they do enjoy sitting in my lap, but don't hold them- not part of their agenda...

so one of the rare ducks you know their gender right away??
