Hook Bill
The Dutch Hook Bill duck or Hookbill, is a breed of domestic duck originating in the Netherlands. The name refers to the bird's distinctive Roman nosed beak. Called ''Kromsnaveleend''〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=feathersite.com )〕 or ''Noord-Hollandse Krombek End''〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=entente-ee.com )〕 in Dutch, the Hookbill is an old breed that can be traced back to the 17th century; it was traditionally raised alongside canals in its native country.
Today, it is primarily raised for exhibition purposes, and is a seasonal egg layer of blue eggs. It is a light-weight bird, weighing between 5.5 and 6.5 pounds (2.3 to 2.8 kilos). The Hookbill appears in several varieties: the Dusky (or Dark) is in shades of gray-brown. The White-Bibbed version is similar to the Dusky, but has a large patch of white on the front and primary feathers. The last is an entirely white variety. Exported to North America in 2000, it has not yet been admitted to the American Poultry Association's Standard of Perfection.
