(Honey Cambells)
The welsh Harlequins were devolped from
pure flocks of the traditional Kahki Cambells in 1949. They are very
good layers, having the cambell history. All the traits of the cambell
have been kept, with weights and appearance identical.
Drakes have an amazing green head, with lovely red breast contrasted by silver trimming on each feather. The silver increases as it heads down the body, with the underside almost completly silver. Drakes also have a black tail. The ducks are where the 'honey cambell' comes from. They are a lovely shade of deep butterscotch, with dark flecking throught the body. The wings are a lovely bronze colour. Harlequins rarely fly, and make very quiete backyard ducks.
They lay upwards of 200 eggs per year, but in general make poor mothers.
