I haven’t really seen anything about this on BC but I’ve heard way too many stories about it.
This year, in March, we ordered three ducklings to add to our existing flock of 14 ducks. A Chocolate Runner, a Khaki Campbell, and a Welsh Harlequin from Metzer, all hens. We waited till August to get...
Good Morning,
I thought I had two ducks but recently one is starting to look different than the other and I’m thinking i might have a Jake. They are 20 week old khaki campbells. Could someone please help me sex these two ducks or is it too early to tell?
First post, so please bear with me.
A few weeks back after much research I finally jumped into the backyard fowl and got 5 Muscovy who are now 8 weeks old. These are a complete first for me, I've never had ducks or chickens before. As nature would have it I ended up with three drakes and two...
I have a pure bred khaki Campbell and one that is KC mixed with either Pekin or crested duck. The mixed one still only makes peeping sounds while the other one has started to make weird noises, like a quiet quacking sound almost but not really a quack. I’m also curious if anyone can confirm...
We took in two ducklings - I’m thinking Khaki Campbell’s or a mix of. They’re about 10 weeks now and we’re having a heck of a time sexing. Color wise they should both be girls. One is quacking (right), one is still peeping (left.) Thoughts?
See my handiquack is in the background photobombing😊
So we hatched six ducklings and they are about 4 and a half weeks old now, any ideas on the genders. One of them which we call Sargent has recentaly developed more of a brown beak then the others and definitely is the leader of them all. Heres some pics of Sargent. Sorry there not the best they...
Hi Guys.. New to the water fowl world. Two of my ladies are getting bullied excessively and they're currently bleeding from the wings as they're growing in. I am trying to figure out fowl behavior. I have a sneaking suspicion one of them might be a drake in disguise.. but I am not sure when...
Hi there!
I've been looking around for possible answers on this site and it's been really helpful, but I thought the best way to get answers is to post directly so I don't misinterpret anything 😌
I have one duck and one drake, both three years old and hatched in an incubator 🥚
The duck has...
I guess I’m lucky I got 4 unsexed ducks from tractor supply all are girls! But I wanted a drake! I need a drake and if possible a couple hens preferably Khaki Campbells! No younger than 8 weeks and no older than 2 years. I am located in Aiken SC and willing to drive at most and 1 1/2 hours.
Hi BYC(& ducks)
My 5 ducks will be 6 weeks old tomorrow (3 runners, 1 khaki, 1 cayuga). We are planning to transition them outside sometime next week, BUT I have a question about temps.
I am in Northern Arizona, where right now, the daytime temperatures are around 75-85 F, and the evening...
Has anyone had experience with khakis, golden 300, fawn and white indian runner ducks going broody?
What do I need to know about them?
I have all 3 and they're girls!! Yay!
Hello!
I have 2 almost 10 week old Khaki Campbells. I have been trying to identify if one is male for almost the same amount of time. I’ve tried the quack test and all others I could find online. The duck in question mumbles a lot and I think sounds squeaky but will then do one quack. I am...
Hi guys!
I've recently acquired three Khaki Campbell ducklings. Right now they are about 4/5 weeks old. Two of them have a sort of light gray beak with a dark spot at the end and one has a solid color beak all the way through. All three of them have a little bit of yellow coming through on...
Hi,
One of my female khaki campbells has gone broody and was sitting determinedly on a nest of blanks - I haven't got a drake and the majority of the eggs weren't hers. I took the eggs away, I was worried about her health deteriorating over eggs that won't hatch. But she was upset and wouldn't...
A few months ago a bird rescue organization, ASAP, was presenting at Petco when I went for cat food. They had all sorts of birds there, including a duck that my 2 year old fell in love with. Obviously, it was not a good idea to adopt a duck on impulse, so we did not get it. However, we had been...
Hey all!
My drake Campbell has what look like callouses on this feet. I've posted the photo below. Should I be soaking him in Epsom salt? Are these even anything to worry about or just normal wear and tear? I dont want to put him through a unnecessary treatment.
Thank you!
