I'm thinking about getting call ducks but I don't know what they are like. Are they especially friendly birds? Or are they more skittish? I'd love to hear about it!
I'm considering hatching a fertilized white call duck egg this spring. I live in Connecticut and I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find an egg either online or nearby (CT, NY, MA, RI). If any online stores have a minimum order, it needs to be 2 at the highest because I can acommodate...
Hello everyone!
I told my youngest son we'd get him some of his own birds to show at 4H and other shows along with his older brother. He choose call ducks. There are a couple shows coming up in October and November that are close enough for us to attend and get in touch with some breeders...
Yesterday I received 6 call duck eggs from e-bay. My intentions were to place them under a broody hen per the advice of the seller as calls are harder to hatch via incubator and I have a hen dying to hatch something. Upon arrival I candled them and discovered all but one have detached air cells...
I quickly candled all my eggs and they have appeared to have broken into the air cell,
and a few wobble now and again. But I hear no chirping.
I want to make sure to know when they internally pip,
so I know when to help with the external because they are call eggs.
I'll send photos if...
My little Call ducks are finally on lockdown.
I'm so excited, but I have to stay reasonable.
I have 5 eggs in there and I'm really impressed because their air cells were horrible but when I last checked them today, they seemed to have fixed themselves and look great!
All of them moved and...
Looking for some khaki call duck hatching eggs! I live in Southampton, UK, don't mind paying for eggs and postage. Just desperate to find more of this colour as I've now contacted all the local breeders and I'm running out of time for the year!
If not, I'll be interested if anyone has chocolate...
Does anyone know what days I should check my call ducks air cells?
Also, anyone have a diagram showing how large it should be the day of checking?
Any help would be appreciated!
Also, humidity recommendations would be very appreciated!
Thank you :).
Hi! I'm new here with a very simple question.
I'm about to start incubating Call Ducks, which I know are hard, but I'm up to the challenge!
But, they're shipped from a very good seller,
it's just when I let them sit for 24 hours like I've read,
do I unpack them and put them in like an egg carton...
My female Call duck is acting weird, she looks like she is panting but its cool outside. She was fine this morning and then this afternoon she is breathing weird, her nose is clear and I cant see or feel if anything is stuck in her throat. She drinks water but is sitting down all the time. She...
Hello! I'm new to backyard poultry ownership, and am interested in finding White Orpington chicks (4-6 female and 1 male), White Call ducklings (1 female and 1 male), and American Buff goslings (1 female and 1 male) to raise for fresh eggs and for fun. I'm hoping to find a breeder with birds of...
