Pros: Excellent foragers, beautiful, quiet, feed-efficient, great layers of blue-green eggs
Cons: Hard to source
I have a flock of 13 Dutch Hookbills in assorted, rare colors. They are beautiful birds, they are quiet as far as ducks go. Only my Muscovy have been quieter. They are very active and efficient foragers. The hens lay big blue-green eggs roughly every other day.
Cons: a bit similar to runners, quick, good foragers,easy keepers
Cute little duck, males end up having a blueish beak. Have bibbed dusky. Very pretty green head and bluegray breast with some black wing feathers (males) females have pinkish bill, and similar to female mallards. Busy little birds....;0)
