Thanks so much, to you and Lacrystol for taking the time to reply. Looks like I'm hand rearing 3 call ducklings then (one of which seems to be blind in one eye, awww). Which I'm thrilled about, they're so gorgeous!
Hi Lacrystol et al, Miss Lydia has suggested I post on this thread to ask if call ducklings that were taken from a nesting pair (full story here - https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/783425/help-with-call-ducks-how-to-raise-them) should be hand reared and then introduced back to the outside ducks...
Thanks Miss Lydia, I didn't want to 'hijack' somebody else's thread but I'll take a look and maybe post the question in there.
Looks like call duck no. 3 is about to hatch, which is very exciting!
I'm hoping that some of you wise peeps may be able to give me some advice.
We have 2 pairs of gorgeous white call ducks. Recently the two females have been sitting on nests, which has been very exciting, but unfortunately a couple of weeks ago we had a wild duck come on to the pond with her...
