    My female call duck, who is the mother of all my call ducks was continuously laying eggs in a nest she had made in a hedgerow...last night was quite rainy but she persisted to sit on her eggs so I left it to her, but I went down to check later that night and there was no sign of her on the nest...

    What breeds of duck are these ducklings?!

    Hi all, I purchased some 2-3 week old ducklings recently, which I were told were trout Indian Runners, but I have a slight feeling that they may be Rouens. I also have attached a picture of a duckling which may be a mixed breed...If anyone can let me know what breed of ducks you think they are...

    Brooding khaki cambell ...questions...need professional insight

    I agree with Amiga!! Although I know that Khaki Campbell's can be good at brooding and rearing their own young as my Khaki Campbell has done so..so have the incubator and brooder on stand-by just in case..but give her a chance, it's possible
