Wow, I jumped on here to find out what’s going on because I have been searching the web for an hour here trying to locate it. Good to know! Crazy that we can’t get this great medication!

The hatching season is here and so is a magnificent machine! Here we have a Humidaire Model 21H hatcher, the “H” in the model number distinguishing it as the hatcher that it is. It does not have an automatic turner, or any sort of turner, as this machine is strictly built to hatch eggs, and it...

We built these pens as breeding pens for our Call Ducks but I have downsized the flock. I have ground pens (with solid ground wire built on) for $60 each and standing breeding pens for $100 each. Houses/nest boxes built in to all but one that could be used for a growing-out or a day pen. Great...

I no longer have Blackjack, sadly. He was an older duck and he passed away, but it warmed my heart that someone brought this thread back to my attention today and I just looked at the little cutie again...I do miss him! :(

You might want to start out a bit slower than 60 ducks off the getgo, would be my suggestion...maybe start with 10-20 until you get some experience with them? You don't want to get overwhelmed when you are starting out, and little ducks get big fast!

Females vary when they will quack, no hard and fast time period. :)

It is my understanding that there are 1050 Call ducks entered in the show, I got that number from the show secretary. Young folks, come bring your favorite Call duck for Call duck showmanship! There will be trophies for each of the three age groups! Some very nice rosettes for both Open and...

Highly recommend the McFeeter's brand of shavings if you can find a store here in the US that carries them. I use this for my Calls and my horses all the time...very flaky and as dust-free as you can get without buying the tiny bags of super-expensive small animal shavings sold in a pet store. I...

Larry Mrozinski of Indiana breeds quite a nice string of Snowy Calls, you might want to give him a ring. He is also the owner of Hienold Feeds in Kouts, IN and they produce some very nice formulas of duck feed, with the animal protein and other nutrients that are especially important for ducks...

Yep.

Get those birds out there to shows! :) I do see WHs at shows, but not many...we definitely need more of the bigger ducks at shows too!

Checking in from Illinois, Calls here have been laying for at least a month now. Fertility not so great but do have some in the hatcher and some in the incubator right now.

They are also relatively rare, as ducks go, or so it is my understanding.

Ducks, absolutely. Don't keep chickens and have no plan of ever doing so.

All I feed my ducks is mostly pellets, with greens, cat kibble or minnows occasionally. But ducks do best with an animal protein based food source and plenty of B vitamins; the youngsters especially need the B vitamins, so you may have to take that under consideration. I use Heinold duck...

From the flier handed out at the last swap last year: April 6, May 4, June1, September 7 and October 5. All to take place at the Kankakee County Fairgrounds in Kankakee, IL. Be sure to bring your flashlights because these start EARLY! I have actually shopped at 4:30am before!

Not to knock the Master's Cup, but this is a first-run for them and they are trying something that, to my knowledge, has not been tried before. There's been a lot of chatter on and off-boards about it. They seem to have some nice things planned but it is still a bit too early to tell how the...
