    Cute Article about a Duckling's Unlikely Friend!

    I think the only reason this is so cute is because the Kookaburra chick is so darned ugly! And it just SITS there! I have to imagine it's in pain from all those blood-feathers coming in at once! Holy cow! Anyways, enjoy! And I'm sorry if this has been posted here before...

    First Call Babies Hatching! UPDATED WITH BABY PICTURES!

    I'm SOOOOO excited! Last year, I finally took the plunge into Call ducks. I initially avoided them because I saw the loudness and the ability to fly as drawbacks, but I was at a swap last March and saw a lonely little White Call drake for sale for $5. He was dirty, quiet, his bill and legs...

    45 Babies and Counting! A Few Questions!

    Hi guys! About 19 days ago, I set 99 Coturnix eggs (a mixture of Jumbo Browns, Texas A & M's, and Tibetans) that were shipped from an ebay seller. They started hatching Friday night. I just pulled another 10 from the 'bator a few minutes ago, and it looks like we have 3 or 4 more late hatchers...

    Our First Hawk Attack!

    We have never had a problem with hawks - probably because we have an abundance of crows around here who heckle the hawks to death. But, last week, we had our very first hawk attack on the birds... I was out of town. I got home and I was told "Some of you flock was attacked by a hawk yesterday -...

    2010 Hatched Indian Runner Drakes

    I have three extra Runner drakes that need to find a home. I paired up my only two Indian Runners this spring to fill some orders for pet Runner ducklings (I had a 3 month waiting list!), and the ducklings that I hatched to sell were such interesting colors that I hatched a bunch more for...

    My Khaki Campbell went broody: 7 babies out before things went bad. :(

    In all of the excitement building a new Call duck pen and then getting my new Call ducks this past weekend, I've been neglecting the other ducks a little bit lately. So, while I was checking on all the birds for one last time last night, I noticed one of my Khaki Campbell ducks, Juniper...

    New Call duck pen (almost finished), and new Calls! PIC HEAVY!

    I've been slaving away the past week on a new Call duck pen. It's almost finished now - just needs to be stained to match our deck, needs some trim in a few places, and the entire "house" is going to be shingled...the ducks are locked in the house overnight; I realize that the chicken wire isn't...

    I just had to share some pictures of my new Indian Runner ducklings with all of you!

    What color is my new Call duckling?

    Hi! I picked up this Call duckling to be friends with my little solo-hatch Runner yesterday. I saw the parents - the drake was Butterscotch, and the ducks were both White. I know it got a dose of the blue dilution from the Butterscotch drake. So, what color is this little one? Blue Magpie? Blue...

    Had some duck drama this morning

    For the past two years, I've kept my 1 - 2 month old ducklings in a big, wire dog crate overnight in the garage before they move into the adult pens. The crate has a wire floor with pans underneath - the wire is small enough (about 1/2" wire mesh) that I figured it was safe - I'd never had a...

    What color would you call my gorgeous new ducklings?

    Hi! I had four darling Indian Runner ducklings hatch on Tuesday night, and they're the prettiest color! Their dad came to me as a Buff Runner from Sandhill Preservation center (but, as so many people have aptly pointed out, he looks more Saxony or Trout than Buff) and mom's a White Runner. Now...

    Just got my e-mail from Holderreads! 6 week update, bottom pg.8

    When I put in my order for Holderreads ducklings late last summer, I didn't want to be too picky. I mean, I wanted the breeds that I ordered, and I didn't want substitutes, so I said that I'd accept any shipping date - I didn't care when I got them, as long as I got my birds. I got my e-mail...
