Would anyone be able to attempt in helping me see if I have a drake or hen? The duckling pictures are from when my WH was only a week old. When I go to pick the WH up it is very very loud! And I believe it is quacking and not the raspy sound. But when it is just walking about sometimes it...

Hello!
I’m needing to downsize my flock and have 3 Welsh Harlequins that are all 1 year old - 1 Drake and 2 Hens - needing to be rehomed. We’ve had them since day-olds and would love to keep them together if possible.
Haven’t posted here before, please let me know if there’s any other...
I am in search of Welsh Harlequin Ducks - Drake and/or Hens - I am located in Southern NH and am willing to drive to surrounding states. We have a very cute and lonely hen that needs a friend!
Hey so, I am new to keeping ducks but not to chickens as I've had those before ducks. Currently has 9 ducklings, just about a month old by now. Previously had 10, casaulty to disease. Two different breeds, 4 silver appleyards and 5 welsh harlequins. Used to have 5 silver appleyards. They are all...
This is just a brag post, not to me but to the beautiful babies who hatched today! We started with shipped welsh harlequin eggs and we got 4 beautiful babies today! 3 girls and 1 boy we believe from Bill color. Any advice is appreciated we are new at this!
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...
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
On my 3rd attempt at hatching duck eggs, I FINALLY got two to develop. Because I had two of nine take, and those two happened to be smaller than the rest of the eggs AND were slightly lighter in color, I convinced myself that I must have accidentally grabbed two chicken eggs. I started...
I'm not 100% sure if this is the best place to post this. Sorry if I'm putting it in the wrong spot!
I am seriously considering WH ducklings for next spring, and I am looking for some advice. I want ducklings from a good egg-laying strain that also have the potential to be breeding-quality. (My...
Hey fellow duck lovers!
I gave my eight week old Welsh Harlequin ducks some feeder fish in their pool for the first time as a special treat and they definitely loved it! I really enjoyed watching them "go fishing" myself so maybe the treat was really mine 🥰🥰
How do you spoil your ducks? ❤
Hello fellow duck lovers!
I've read a lot of threads about raising ducks outside, but I haven't seen much on keeping ducks in the house. I realize this isn't a super common occurrence and I may be a tad weird, but I can't be the only one keeping ducks as pets, right?
I'm planning to have my...
From those of you who have had broody ducks, how long should I expect them to stick with it beyond the 28 days of incubation time?
The first one started to sit on her nest probably 2 months ago. Their eggs have hatched, which they tried to kill, and I am wrapping up the last two stragglers in...
Bob and Clementine are 14 weeks old, raised together from newborns! We held out hope as long as possible we had at least one girl, but they are both handsome fellas. They have always lived with our chickens, but the older they get, the more aggressive they get toward the chickens, and I need to...
Hi everyone,
I wanted to post in this forum because it's become my bible as during isolation from COVID-19 I decided to hatch my own Welsh Harlequin eggs, and previously knew nothing about raising or hatching ducks. (I was always planning on getting ducks, isolation just seemed like the perfect...
Don’t worry I’ve done a lot of research on many different breeds of duck I just don’t know which to get. I’m looking for gentle and friendly ducks that can lay a lot of eggs. I won’t use them for meat because I’ll just stick to my chickens for that. The three breeds that caught my eye were...
