Da' Cute and Cuddly Call Duck thread!

I never let any shipped eggs sit, but especially in summer when temps are high. In winter they rest long enough to come to room temp, then into the bator for 24 hours sitting still, then turner flipped on.

Thank you JulieNKC and Jen C. Any recommendations for links on Call colors & patterns? I linked to callducks.org and looked over their "posters" showing the different color/patterns.....

.... I came away still confused. There seems to be quite a variation in the "real look" of these colors when you see pic's of actual ducks vs what the posters show. Tks!

This has some of them. http://www.sherborneducks.co.uk/nonstandardcoloursusa.htm I also have a standard, but it doesn't help very much with the non recognized color variations. They confuse me too, lol.

This is what I do too.

OMG!!! Now I have to have a few of these too!!!!! I just got three Scovys. But they are huge!! Bigger than I thought they would be. Cant put them in with the chickens cause they are too big and mean to them. Theses Lil butts would fit in perfect!!

Boy you hatch big, 34 call ducks at once, hope you have a big brooder even though they are tiny they will grow fast. Good luck I hope they all hatch. Once they start pipping I'm sure someone on here will hold your hand through it all.

I will hopefully be getting 6 new Calls in a few days. So excited! They are just pet quality, but I just couldn't pass them up. There are lots of people in my area who adore calls but aren't willing to pay huge prices for SQ or BQ Calls. Either way I adore calls and just want more! Who doesn't?

i'm gonna need someone to "hold my hand thru it all" .... last hatch i hatched only 2 and 1 is half the size of the other (how would i know if they weren't calls?). one is black with a little yellow (still has down) and the big one has a lot more yellow than brown (they hatched within a day of each other). sound like 2 calls to you guys?

i was a nervous wreck during their hatching......
