Aylesbury Duck.

We were given an opportunity a few years ago to acquire a small starter flock. We were delighted at the chance and have not doubted this opportunity. Aylesburys are a heavy breed with a large keel that is made mostly of fat. They lay the least amount of eggs of any of the heavy breeds that we own. The Aylesbury duck has pure white plumage, white skin, (a unique attribute since most ducks have yellow skin) orange feet and legs, dark grayish blue eyes and an unusually long, straight pinkish-white bill. It has a long body, horizontal carriage, and a characteristically straight, deep keel that nearly reaches the ground. The Aylesbury is described as "slow moving”.
