Streicher, in German, mean "stray"and were first mentioned in Europe in the the years following the war of 1914-1918. ( known as Streicher and very popular in Eastern Europe as a dual purpose duck) they are one of the few breeds where the breed standards are virtually unaltered today. A reasonable layer and sitter with a differing bill colour in males and females similar to the Appleyards etc. making sexing after 8 weeks simple.
