There is never a dull moment around here with the duck crew of 11. As you can see above, Onyx was having fun playing in the pool. They are a hoot! Each one has a different personality and is unique in his/her own way.
So far it looks like we have 6 drakes and 5 females. Well 5 are clearly quacking and 6 are not. My Golden Welsh Harlequins have very distinct looks too. The two that are quacking are a rusty beautiful brown breast area, the other 4 are splotchy and have dark heads and are not quacking. So time will tell for sure but I love em all anyway.
Here are some pics of my favorite harlequin drake...he loves the hose and being nosey. He has to check out everything I am doing or have.
All 11 of them in their play pool. They have a much larger one which they are sleeping in at night in the garage while their duck house is being built.

Then of course we must groom afterwards
It looks like I will be looking for females for my 3 extra drake harlequins because I just do not have the heart to butcher the extras. I bought them as pets and love them as pets...so pets they will stay. If I need to rehome them I will do that or make them a bachelor pad of their own, which is the current plan.
More updates on the crew later because something is always happening with these guys.
