Nothing on here, sad!
My three say hello, two girls and a fella who is not for the pot! they are real personalities, no trouble at all. They came from smallholders show at ardingley so if you sent some this year i may have them, they are fine. They get on with the hens OK though they do have quite a lot of room. |

| I have one Appleyard Drake called Duckie - OK, it's not original, but it can be quite difficult not to have something gender specific! He was the only one to hatch out of 10 eggs and he is adorable. He now lives with the chickens, and I think he is a bit protective of them. He chatters all day long and makes a great pet, he even follows you round while you talk to him. I definitely want more this year - even to breed later on. |

I don't think my 9 year old boy has much imagination for names - he wants to call everything 'fluffy'!
The hamster is fluffy, he wanted to call duckie - fluffy, we recently got two kittens that he also wanted to call fluffy, but we prefer hiss and spit! |

We keep a few Appleyards we have a drake called Archie and three ducks.  Me and my nan bought the eggs from down the road and my nan thought of putting them in the incubator aswell as some magpie duck eggs.  Fortunely their was one drake from each set, we killed the magpie drake and ducks, and kept Appleyards. |

We have the miniature silver appleyard ducks, 2 drakes called Derek and Desmond and two girls called Deidrie and Deliah ! They shared with two Stryker Runners called Sue and Shirley until the fox got Sue.  Desmond is the smaller of the two drakes, but big on attitude! A bit of a bully!! |

| i don't like so much heavy breeds, but appleyards are cute...i saw in the book by michael roberts the original slver appleyards, and they were very different, they seemed like welsh harlequins... |
