Buy Welsh Harlequin Ducks and ducklings online from Twin Brother Game farm .
We have live Welsh Harlequin Ducks and baby ducks for sale online. he Welsh Harlequin is a fairly new breed, developed by Leslie Bonnett in Wales from two off-colored Khaki Campbell ducklings in 1949. They came to the United States in 1968 and were accepted into the American Poultry Association in 2001 in the Light Duck class. They are becoming a very popular breed due to their multipurpose characteristics. They are calm, inquisitive and excellent foragers. They seem to be the calmest bird on our farm.
They can also make an outstanding dressed bird as their under-feathers are almost exclusively white making their carcass as pretty as a pure white bird. Interestingly, their gender can be determined after hatching with 90% accuracy by their bill color. Darker bills mean a male and lighter bills ending in a dark spot are normally females. Within several days this distinction disappears. They are also a beautiful bird, especially the feather patterns and colors on the adult females.
There are two variations of Welsh Harlequins: Silver and Gold. Ours are the more common Silver variety.
Customer Reviews of Welsh Harlequin Ducks
January 27, 2023 | Great girls
I ordered 8 girls last June. They arrived in great shape and have thrived. They have started laying and I have been getting 6 or 7 eggs daily. So, there is a slacker among them but no one is fessing up. They are calm and everyone comments on how pretty they are. I would definitely recommend them if you are wanting some sweet layers.
June 26, 2023 | Beautiful Friendly Bird
My order of 1 female Welsh Harlequin and 1 female White Layer arrived around a month and a half ago now, and they are growing like crazy! Both ladies have their adult feathers starting to come in and the Welsh Harlequin patterning is beautiful. These are our first ducks, so we weren’t really sure what to expect, but they are the sweetest and most inquisitive birds. Both LOVE climbing into our laps for pets and naps, and have very much enjoyed the array of leafy greens we have been presenting them with (Pak Choi is a clear favorite). The Welsh Harlequin in particular loves bath time and splashing around in their large water dish, and it has been a blast to watch them dive for treats in their swimming pool. Thank you Metzer for such friendly girls! We absolutely love them.
July 1, 2023 | A Wonderful Experience
I was very skeptical about ordering my ducks online and them arriving in a healthy state. With all my worries, I placed my order and hope for the best. My experience with Metzer Farms couldn’t have been better. My ducklings (2 females, 1 male) arrived safe, sound, and full of energy. They are so inquisitive and immediately took to the entire family. Very docile breed and we love having them around. They got along well with our Khaki campbell after the pecking order was established lol. They’re almost 3 months old now and their adult feathers are beautiful. Several of our deliver companies have been caught taking pictures with them. Overall I could be more pleased
July 20, 2023 | Cute happy healthy baby ducks!
Second time I have ordered from Metzer farms and second time I have been pleasantly impressed. I ordered 5 welsh harlequins and all five were picked up happy, healthy, and eating food and drinking water within minutes. Years of joy coming to me with the flock!
