A nice Saxony drake from the UK
This is a German heavy breed of duck -- a dual purpose bird for both eggs and meat. The drakes are colored somewhat like a faded Mallard, the ducks a soft buff; both have a hint of greyish-blue to their plumage. Males weigh 8 pounds, females around 7.

I was at a poultry show, and someone was selling these birds. The sign said it was a new breed, so I quick took a picture. Does anyone know anything about them? If so, please enlighten me! Thanks.
