Dutch Hookbill Ducks are a fascinating breed well worth preserving with a very interesting history. I have become addicted to their physically unique characteristics. I have owned Hook bills since about 2010 but have become very serious about improving my flock around 2017. The majority of my very best Breeding stock comes directly from Holderread farms They lay a nice size egg and have a mild temperament. https://livestockconservancy.org/dutch-hookbill-duck/
