🦆 Magpie
Ducks · breed reference
The white duck with a black cap and mantle, bred in Wales around 1920 by the same circle that produced the Ancona. THE MARKINGS ALMOST NEVER COME OUT RIGHT — a show-perfect Magpie is rare, which is most of why the breed stayed rare. Lays like a light breed and dresses out clean, since the body is white underneath.
