Meet our Rare Heritage Welsh Harlequin Ducks!  They are beautiful, looking much like a Mallard.

The Welsh Harlequin breed originated in 1949 with two mutant, light-colored ducklings hatched from pure Khaki Campbells by Leslie Bonnet, a British Royal Air Force officer, writer, banker, magazine editor – and duck breeder. Bonnet and his wife developed a globally-recognized duck breeding program. Bonnet published Practical Duck-Keeping in 1960. This guide was considered the “go-to” resource for duck husbandry for many decades.

In 1968, John Fugate imported hatching Harlequin eggs to Tennessee, but by 1980, descendants of the original imports were confined to two small flocks. To broaden the gene pool, breeders imported additional Harlequins in 1982, and in 1984 they began to offer birds for sale in the US. The Silver variety of the Welsh Harlequin was accepted by the American Poultry Association Standard of Perfection in 2001.
