At TSC there were assorted ducklings. The ducklings appeared to be blue swedish, and maybe saxony or F&W runners today. I am NOT good with identifying ducklings (yet) so I stood there scrolling through several websites showcasing ducklings. I chose to buy what I think is an Ancona, and the is...
My five Khaki Campbells are now 24 weeks old. I am getting 3-4 eggs per day. Sometimes I get a double-yolk egg! I've had two so far in the 2-3 weeks that I've been getting eggs from them. I believed (until I got 4 instead of 3 eggs) that I had two drakes. Two of my birds have very orange feet...
Possibly 4 hens, 1 drake. Purchased as day-old asst. ducklings at TSC 7/22/2023, pic taken 10/7/2023. First-time duck owner. We had no idea they would make what we call "duck holes" in our dirt yard... I see no way to stop them except attempt to grow grass. 55-65 lbs doggy playmates also pictured.
Purchased 7/22/2023 as "asst. ducklings" at TSC, this pic is when they were approx. 2 weeks old. They are Khaki Campbells. Likely 4 hens, 1 drake but still unsure at 13 weeks old 10/20/2023.
Hello, I have 4 ducks about 7 weeks old. They are a mix of Khaki Campbell and Appleyard and I am having a hard time determining the sex. They are still making baby peeps so I haven’t been able to determine by sound. Below are photos of each of them.
I am 95% sure I have a young drake here, but thought I would see if anyone sees something different. The duckling is 6 weeks old and I believe is sounding raspy. It has some new feathers coming in on its wing that have a blue iridescent tint. Legs are yellow. I have included some up close...
Hello everyone! I have been enjoying the group by searching the threads and reading everyone’s posts! My Mother’s Day ducks I’m guessing are around 7/8 weeks old. I have been trying to figure out their genders by their voices, I think the two Khaki Campbells are ducks and I think I have 2/3...
My Khaki Campbell ducks are starting to get their voices in. So far I can’t tell the difference between a female quack & male noise. I’ve been looking at their beaks and have noticed that some are getting lighter, some darker, some with caramel colored beans, and some dark beans. Does anyone...
Hello, my khaki Campbell hens feathers are not looking ok. Is this wet feather or just damage? There has been some Drake chasing happening on and off by other “groups”. Everyone is “twitterpated” right now 🤦🏻♀️ lol. If it is… I can’t figure out the cause as we have a natural pond and a small...
Hello, I've got another question about my Khaki Campbell hen who I've been having issues with. Here's a previous thread in which I put some of her details about her past, so I don't have to rewrite all of that...
Well, my hens were secretly laying eggs in an old henhouse and I was surprised to see them taking turns going in there throughout the day. They've laid a LOT of eggs. Good grief!
I have a roughly 3 week old Khaki Campbell duckling and both of its feet are curled. How do I make a splint for it? Or is it too late? The poor thing just scrambles around and I'm not sure its getting to the water in their brooder. I included photos of its feet. All of my ducklings get niacin...
Good Morning!
This is the first time we decided to hatch our own ducklings from our eggs collected from our ducks! However, I have two drakes. So I’m not positive what mix I ended up with! They’re adorable either way just curious what y’all think!?
I have a male khaki Campbell and Blue...
This is my first hatch, from which only four Khaki Campbell ducklings came out. Three siblings hatched on the 6th of March and this one took one more day to hatch. He was the first one to make a dent on his shell but then it stayed like that for two or three days until it finally hatched without...
I’m struggling with this one! 3 month old Khaki Campbell. I have two hens for sure. But this third still hasn’t changed wing colors. It’s bill is more green than the others. But it’s quack is not super distinguishable either way. It doesn’t sound at all like my drakes but it’s not loud or...

I took all of the stuff out and I'm putting in a circulating waterer. 5 gallon bucket with 1/2" PVC with nipples and some cup type waterers, but I don't trust those. I of course will still have plenty of clean fresh water in rubber bowls from TSC. I've also moved the fence back by 2' further...
Hello all! This is my first post on BYC, and while I would have preferred it to be on a happier note, after two weeks of worrying, I feel I need to seek all the advice I can.
We have a 2.5 year old Khaki Campbell duck who lives with one other Khaki and two Anconas, all females and all the same...
Hi friends! I’m new to the duck forum. We have 8 hens and a rooster and decided we’d like to add ducks to our flock.
I am looking for suggestions as a first time duck owner.
I just ordered four female Khaki Campbell ducklings from McMurray hatchery. We have a large kennel for them to roost in...
So this was a shock. On the 9 of Dec i came home to four little ducklings sitting in my ducks nest and well three more hatched later and at that point I had seven and sadly one passed away due to health issues. Then some unknown illness took away three of my little ones and now I have three left...
