Nobody set out to create the Welsh Harlequin duck. It happened by accident, in 1949, in an English backyard — and it very nearly disappeared before anyone thought to write down how to raise one properly.
This is that book.
The Welsh Harlequin is a genuine rarity: a heritage breed still listed on the Livestock Conservancy's Watch list, prized by hatcheries and homesteaders for laying 300+ eggs a year with the personality of a golden retriever — and somehow, until now, without a single dedicated guide to its name.
Written by Cole Bennett, a longtime keeper who breeds these ducks personally, this is a complete, no-fluff manual covering everything from the breed's near-extinction (thank a hungry fox) to the genetics, incubation science, and day-to-day flock management that will actually keep yours thriving.
Inside, you'll find:
Written with real research (Cornell, NC State, the Livestock Conservancy, the APA Standard of Perfection) and an author's voice that treats you like a capable adult rather than talking down to you — with the occasional joke, because raising ducks should be fun, not just correct.
Whether you're a homesteader chasing serious egg production, a first-time duck keeper who wants to do it right, or a small-scale breeder hoping to help keep a genuinely rare breed alive, this book will get you there.
Your ducks will thank you. Eventually. Probably while demanding more grapes.
