Hey Everyone!
I got 4 ducklings at the end of June (they’re all supposed to be females)- 1 Ancona and 3 welsh harlequins. Can someone PLEASE confirm their sex for me?! I tried to do the “pick up test” and not a single one quacked. 😩😳 Thank you in advance! (This is my first time with ducks so I’m...
Planning ahead!
My plan is to keep all males for meat while I sell the females. All females will be sold around laying age so that buyers don't miss out on getting the first eggs.
I'm currently in the process of getting 2 good sized incubators.
What's a good number of eggs to set to get enough...
Hi I am really confused about my welsh harlequin babies…they should be pure,I raised their mothers from day 1 and they’re pure and their father appeared to be pure too
The white ones appear to be male(correct me if I’m wrong)
But the others are all brown!:hmm
Hey! :)
So as some of you may know my Welsh Harlequin duck, (who turned out to be a drake lol) Charlie, has a swollen face. This started when he was about two weeks old. He's probably around eight weeks now. Over time it got a lot better before flaring up again, and now both sides of his face...
Hey everyone!
My Welsh Harlequin duckling Charlie is six weeks old. I bought her as a sexed female, but now I’m not so sure if ‘she’ is actually a drake.
First off, her beak never turned purplish black like my other duckling (who I’m positive is a female) did. It’s a lightish pink with a black...
Hi everyone,
Here are two beautiful 12-week-ish old girls that I got from Metzer. I ordered a Welsh Harlequin and a Silver Appleyard. The feather patterns are spot on, but funnily enough their bills are BOTH the “wrong” color! Every picture I see shows Appleyards with yellow/orange bills, and...
I have 4 welsh harlequin hens and 2 silver appleyard hens. I want a drake for the purpose of fertilizing eggs. I was worried about the sizing of the ducks. Is it hazardous to my ducks if I get a heavy breed? And if I get a light breed, will it be able to fertilize the silver appleyards? Would an...
i have welsh harlequins and silver appleyards, all female. except for this one welsh harlequin that i’m not so sure about. i always thought it was a male but now they’re 5 months old and he still doesnt look like a drake. i was waiting for the dark feathers from the neck up but they never...
Gold or silver Welsh Harlequins?
Wondering wether you have the common silver Welsh harlequins or the more rare gold Welsh harlequins? It's a common question here on BYC, hopefully I can help you out a little.
Before we proceed I would like to note that silver is not a recognized variety in...
We got four new ducks (hens) from Metzger, hatched June 1. Two are Silver Appleyard and two are Welsh Harlequin. Question: when can we safely introduce them to our adult Anconas (1 duck, 1drake)?
Looking to sell my Welsh Harlequin ducks. 3 females and 1 drake. I’m asking $15 per female and the male can go along with them for the ride. They are a year old and all three females are laying about an egg a day. Located in Albuquerque, NM
Hey all,
I'm just a bit paranoid that my 7 week old welsh harlequin might be a drake, but I'm very new to raising ducks -- and I've never had a drake -- so I don't know how to tell that well. Here are a few videos I took to showcase the sounds she makes and what she looks like. (There are also...
Have an 8 week old welsh harlequin. They spend their days outside but nights inside at this time. Perfectly fine minutes ago. I happen to look over at their pen and they both are sunbathing like normal, then all of a sudden one stretches out both of her legs and stretched out her neck (all while...
Looking to add one of each to our flock, female only. We are willing to drive up to two hours or pay for safe shipping, as long as the price isn’t astronomical. Located in SW Ohio, near Dayton.
I am new here, I have had ducks sense I was about 11 years old. Before I got ducks my mom always had chickens. Then she got 4 Pekin ducklings, I was hooked. From then I have had lots of breeds of ducks, Pekin, khaki Campbell, fawn and white runners, buff, cayuga, calls,welsh harlequin, silver...
I have four adorable little ducklings for sale at $7 each! The ducklings are about
one week old as of when this was posted.
There are three Rouen mix ducklings (yellow and black) and one welsh harlequin and most likely appleyard mix duckling (yellow). We can’t tell you for sure what they will...
Hello! I have four wonderful ducks for sale in Bethlehem Pennsylvania. I really just want them to go to a good home. They are all just about one year old, I have one female khaki campbell, one male khaki campbell and two female welsh harlequins. I’d be willing to sell all four together or the...
I have slowly started introducing the new ducks. at first I let the new guys quarantine then showed them to each other so they could see them but not be with them. next I let them outside together and my less dominant duck kept going back and forth with the the new guys and his friend. After...
