When I was younger, I had a friend with ducks- let's just say it was a bad experience & I told myself I would NEVER own ducks. But when we got our very first flock of chicks, my husband's stipulation is he wanted ducks. We then purchased 2 female Khaki Campbells at auction, & I immediately grew to love them! They were very shy for awhile, but then we purchased a male early last year, & they all have just been wonderful. Large, tasty eggs! I have no complaints- they are so friendly & always happy to see us. We changed their living arrangements around, & and it only took them three days to learn to put themselves to bed at night. They always give us a laugh when we refill their kiddie pool, & they love to come eat from your hand. Very talkative & vocal! They usually lay their eggs for us overnight, & they're in the nest the next morning.
The females have never offered to sit on a nest, so we have hatched their eggs under broody hens. The ducklings are just as kind & sweet!
