Hi all,

Recently added ducks to my chickens. We’ve kept chickens for 10 years and become pretty knowledgable about breeds but last couple of months we’ve got a couple of khaki campbells ducks and a dark Campbell duck for something new. They all mix very well so decided to May be add some more ducks in.

Someone has offered us 2 khaki Campbells and a khaki drake due to them moving, but I don’t think they are pure khaki’s when looking at the pictures, the colours and stripes around the eyes of the girls, and drake colours doesn’t look 100% due to his 10 week pic from 2 years a go. I’ve included pics of the 3, the drake is very dark in one picture at 10 weeks but now has a dark green head, looking more like my Dark Campbell female at 10 weeks.

Any help to identify if these are campbells or maybe a mix would be great as i the person is limited on time due to moving.

Thanks

Hoover's hatchery offers what they call dark Campbells that look similar to those in the photos, but I am not sure if they are just a hatchery special or an established variety. I suspect they are just a hatchery creation. Those in the photos look off in type as well as color to purebred khaki Campbells. Hopefully others will know more. You might also get some good answers by posting directly in the duck forum.
