    Chocolate Call or Khaki?

    This little guy is super duper small and was the last of his color at TSC so I wasn't able to compare him to his mates. Is he just runty? Can anyone help with ID? His feet are solid dark brown and he has a soft raspy voice, if that helps.

    Will a call duck and a standard duck make a small or a standard duck.

    I would like to add some smaller exotic ducks to my flock and my one friend has a rouen call duck hen that has been fertilized by a Pekin drake. I am going to buy the eggs off of him. Would the ducklings be call duck size, standard size, or In the middle?

    Is it okay to release these ducks?

    So I found these call ducks when they were a few days old in a plastic bag near a road. I took them in and raised them in my house while they got attached to me. They aren’t afraid of humans and they will soon be able to fly. We sadly don’t have room for them anymore because we live in the city...

    Call duck eggs

    Hi, I have had call duck eggs in the incubator for a little over 22-24 days and they have been wiggling the eggs back and forth for about a day but still have not piped. Is this normal and when should I expect them to pip? I put them in incubation lockdown a few days ago as a precaution. Thank you!
