Acona Ducks are rare ducks[1] considered to be a descendant of the Belgium huttengem duck breed. They weigh around - 6.5 pounds as adults.[2] The Chicks are yellow with spots or speckles, adults are white with spots. They come in a variety of colors, though most common is black and white. Their bills and feet are orange. They are fairly calm birds and make good pond, yard, and breeding birds. Their closest relatives are the Magpie Duck and Dutch Hookbills. They typically lay 210-280 eggs a year.[3]
[edit] Appearance
They have an oval head, and a slightly concave length bill, with green specks. They have plumage under their eye[4]
