  • Not sure where to ask... but I have a gray call hen, 2 pastel call
    Hens, and 1 pastel call drake... if I bred the pastel drake to my grey, would the offspring be colored similarly to the pastel call? Or more "wild-type" mallard/grey colored?
    Thank you. I did manage to get the poor fellow out. His foot was crossed over his eyes almost like a rubber band. But, he is tiny.
    I still have 1 unhatched egg, no pip or crack. Float test still shows a "good" egg what I don't know is it living or just a fertilized developed egg that died?
    These are rescued wild mallard eggs with unknown hatch date.
    I have a wild mallard duckling in an incubator with a large pip. can I use olive oil instead of coconut oil to keep moist. Humidity at 76%

    If you don't have coconut oil, I'd actually go with something like Neosporin or Bacitracin instead :)
    I heard that you may have some call ducklings for sale, I am looking for 2 to add to my flock!! Let me know, thank you

    I'm sorry, I don't, but you may want to check with @learycow. She is also in Maine, so you might be able to just drive and pick them up, too.
    What would be the outcome of a Pastel Call drake crossed with White Call duck hens?

    Oh, and all the ducklings will either be on mallard base (e+) or will be split to mallard base. If any of the white hens are an extended black color (E+) 'under' the white, then that will be dominant and you'll see blue bibbed, silver bibbed, etc ducklings, but those will also be carrying mallard base (e+). Which is helpful to know for future breeding down the line.

    It'll be fun to see what you end up with :)
    Hello, Question do you know where I may get a emu egg or baby chick? 1 of mine didn't hatch so now he is alone.
