Title: Aylesbury ducklings
Post by: NicAlford1234 on May 31, 2012, 04:36:47 pm

I have 3 Aylesbury ducklings, two with yellow/orange beaks, whilst the other one has a much paler one..? Does this mean anything?  :&>

True Aylesbury ducks should have pale pinkish bills rather than yellow or orange but most ducks described as Aylesbury are not pure and many big white ducks are called Aylesbury without meeting breed standards.
