Looking for a female Call or Australian Spotted Duck. Prefer nutmeg color, or pastel but will consider other colors. I have a small flock of Calls and Spotteds. All ducks are well cared for and have pools of fresh, clean water for swimming, allowed to free range and fed high quality feed plus...
Hello!
I recently bought two 5-7 month old call ducks and they have never been free range before.
My other 8 call ducks are free range and live on the pond by my house, and can fly and have free roam of wherever they may please.
These ducks have been kept in a small pen for all their life with...
Hi,
What do you all think of our exhibition call ducks? There is a pair of whites and a pair of abacots (in America abacots are called Snowys).
Any thoughts would be great.
Thanks

Hi all I would like to start a discussion on how everybody prepares and takes care of their flock over the winter.
Things to consider:
Feeding- change of diet, low protein, higher protein, corn?, layer crumbles.
Heat lamp- when and what temp to start
Bedding- straw, shavings, etc.
Health...
Hi! So I’ve been considering ordering some call ducklings from als quackery in the near future and I was wondering if anyone has had any experience ordering for them and if it was good? I’ve ordered from Metzer several times and all my ducks from them arrived happy and healthy and still are to...
Hi all just wondering could somebody help me. I hatched out two call ducks they are 6 and a half weeks old. Fully feathered and off the heat. During the day they are out in the garden loads of space, water to get in and out of, plenty of drinking water and plenty of food, glass and flies. I'm...
Last summer I adopted 3 month old “call ducks” which possibly may be a call mix of some sort, and I’m pretty certain that the drake is a silver appleyard bantam, but I’m still having trouble figure out the female. They’ve given us lots of babies so maybe that will be a clue for someone! I’m...
Fellow Oregonians and/or Idahonians (and even possibly Washingtonians). I have NINETEEN call duck babies!!!! 11 hatched by incubation and imprinted with people on 4/25-27th, and 8 more hatched by hen on 5/15 and just pulled today (so a bit on the squirrely side but more interesting colors and...
I need some advice please. This is my first attempt at hatching call duck eggs. We started with 41 eggs. Our females wouldn't sit. After a week we candled and the number dropped to 14. Out of 14 we had 4 die in their shells, 6 hatches. One was a "star gazer" and perished within 12 hours...
A while ago I caught my white call duck Munchkin having what I thought was a seizure. After some research, I decided it was a niacin deficiency and she has been getting sunflowers seeds/spinach for that. But she still has been having this problem where all of a sudden she can't hold her head up...
Hi everyone
I’m new to call ducks. I have two white girls that are sitting on two nests in the same house. I just went in to lock them in for the night and saw a new little duckling under one of the moms. So excited. But after reading a bit on ducks I read that a Mom will attack another mom’s...
I thought I’d share some cute pics of my nearly 4 week old ducklings and their parents.
Please forgive me if I’ve posted this in the wrong place, I tried looking in the duck forum but didn’t really think it was appropriate to just start posting duck pictures amongst people asking questions...
Hi All,
I would really LOVE some help.
I now have 9 eggs in the incubator that I checked/candled at day 22 and they were all growing!
I can add videos and pictures (if I can work out how) but you can see almost all the egg is dark, they have large air sacs, and in one video you can even see a...
Scooter (center) was the only small duck in a mixed bin at TSC. He is literally half the size of his companions now. Could he be a call duck? What other small breeds of duck are there?
I have 11 duck eggs (both indian runner and call duck) sitting ready to go into the incubator. However this will not fill the incubator. The ducks are continueing to lay each day and so i was going to wait until i had enough eggs to fill the incubator before turning it on.
Although i have heard...
Hey all! New here to the group. Started with ducks... Call Ducks. Added three laying mixed chicken hens (adopted). Looking to add more bantams though! Love mini birds! Our Call hen just started sitting on a clutch of eggs but we shall see... she''s been wishy washy on her commitment and we had...

Would love any other helpful incubation tips with the Call Ducks too. Thanks
Hello byc family! :frow
I have my hands on an incubator and I have caught the hatching bug that's been going around here for some time. :)
I have had ducklings hatched by a broody but I am brand new to incubation.
I am fairly confident in my knowledge of candleing and what things should look...
