Call Duck

I love my calls! I reccomend them for anyone who loves chonky cute things, might be a bit naughty at first, but you get used to it

Calls have been raised for years on my farm, and every year I like them less.
They are just annoying when they need something or get separated or just want to be loud. They have to be herded in at night and are difficult about it. They also fly the fence a lot. They have a netted pen, but the second they escape they are a target to hawks and foxes. The males have poor fertility. Other than that they are easy to raise. Maybe I would like a drake flock better.

These ducks are very small compared to my other ducks. They are very calm and friendly. They surprisingly do not poop much at all, especially for a duck and they also eat minimally. I'd recommend for anyone really!

Call ducks are just the cutest lil' birdies on the universe!
My grandmother had a few and they were really friendly and didn't attack, even the drakes. Some females can be loud tho but overall they are the best ducks to have!

My call duck Cleveland was the most friendly duck I owned. They are small so easy and nice to handle. They can be hard to catch, I really like call ducks they are nice, small and easy. The females are loud the males aren't that load. If you free range they are small so they get picked up a little more. Overall I give a 5 star rating!!! I hoped I helped someone!

I've had Calls for a little while now and we just love them! They're so amusing, some of the things they do are absolutely hilarious and have us in stitches! They would happily spend the entire day in the water and they forage a lot also, which can help with cost of feed. Mine love the chickens also and are more than happy to follow them around in the garden, occasionally calling out to them if they can't see them! A word of warning- the hens can be very loud, and I wouldn't recommend having them in a metro area. It does depend on the hen though, some are more vocal than others and one of mine is the loudest I've come across so far!

They're seasonal layers and don't lay year round like Indian Runners. You'd be wise to clip their wings as their ability to fly is actually quite impressive!

My drake was killed recently by a dog, and when he saw her coming he protected his partner by running straight at the dog. The hen managed to escape unharmed. We're so sad to have lost him but the scenario itself demonstrates the character of a Call drake. Our hen was terribly lonely without him and but I managed to track down her half sister and bought her as a companion, luckily! I now have two very happy hens.

Overall such lovely and funny little ducks, and cute as a button! Definitely recommend.

i have 3 grey call ducks, their names are Toby, Oliver, And Olivia. i had toby first and he was very mean, he would hiss and attack my hand, but once i got the other call ducks, he was so sweet! i think he was just lonely. me hen lays eggs like every other day, and they are good size.


here is a picture of them

This breed is definitely one of my favourites of all time, I love my two little calls!. There is such a huge colour range to choose from , if only I could have one of each! . They are easy to breed and have high fertility when many breeds don't at the time of year. Very good layers in the summer. Although when breeding them it's hard to get a true call e.g short beak, chubby face and short neck etc but that doesn't matter to me I will keep any ducks.

The only concern is in my relatives experience ( who has owned many calls) said they get upset if any are removed from a flock for any reason like illnesses or breeding although who can blame them. Love the breed though!!!

These Call Ducks are a good duck breed. They are tame, but the drakes can have a mean streak in them if not handled much. These ducks don't need much space, and they get along with chickens and other birds quite well. However, the hens can be loud, so I wouldn't recommend having a hen with picky neighbors close by. Also they are messy, which is a trait I've noticed in my Call Ducks.

very good ducks to have ,make the garden look very good and pretty ,they are great with children and very calm around people and would recomend these ducks to anyone

I love my calls!!!! They are very entertaining even in the winter. My Butterscotch calls slide around on their bellies like a penquin after a fresh snow fall and go sliding down the hill in our yard, It is awesome. I have other ducks also but none have the personality like these guys. They may be small but they don't know it. The only issue for some may be the females are very vocal and can be loud so if youhave really close neighbors that could be a problem.

I love these little guys! They are the only poultry I keep. While there are other breeds I like, I choose to specialize in only this breed and have several national champions.

I can't wait to get my quartet of apricot calls and they are gunna be beautiful

Have 5 and heard them into a dog carrier at night. Great easy going ducks. Have them free ranging and they do great.

Purchased 12 ducklings for my muscovy who was sitting on infertile eggs. She decided she didn't want to parent after that, and I was stuck raising these 12 little ones.

They are adorable, but they require a ton of work as all ducks do. Once they are outside, I love them a whole lot more!

They are 4 weeks old now, and I put them with the flock. They are doing wonderful. They sleep in a pile, so they keep one-another warm, and are the easiest to herd. I love watching them play in the water outdoors. In the barn (in the brooder) I was getting sick of all the wet shavings. They also seem less afraid of me now that they are outside. I plan to keep a trio.

Lovely ducks! I could not find any Cons about them! Love my call ducks!

I love call ducks! They are the ideal duck for persons with not much room for bigger ducks. To those close to neighbors, I suggest a pen of males as the hens are vocal. These ducks are quick and efficient insect and worm eradicaters. Provide them with a kiddie pool for hours of amusement. With one wing clipped, they won't fly off. They are gentle and make excellent pets, indoors or out.
