🍗 Aylesbury
Ducks · breed reference
The duck of the Vale of Aylesbury, walked and floated to London for the Victorian table. THE FIELD MARK IS THE BILL: a true Aylesbury's is PINK-WHITE, a Pekin's is bright orange — and most birds sold here as Aylesbury are Pekins. Critically rare in the US; a deep keel means it wants soft bedding, not gravel.
