Noticed this today. This is my call duck drake. Is there anything I should be doing? I saw some posts about letting him soak in warm water. I am going to try that and try to maybe spray it with vetrimycin but basically what I need to know is if this needs the vet ASAP or if I should give it a...
One of my call ducks named Spade who is around 6 1/5 months old has started laying hard shelled eggs daily from about a week ago. I didn’t think there was any problem but yesterday she started to have a loss of appetite and seems very tired. She stays in her pond all day and doesn’t follow our...
I just brought home three call ducks and they are in a cage near, but separate from my pekins and brown leghorn chickens. They are trying to get out almost like they are trying to be with the other ducks.. I don’t know what to do. I feel bad, but I really do not want them in the same cage due to...
I have a duckling that started to hatch yesterday and I unfortunately interviened, which I am regretting now. It's completely seperated from its shell except for one tiny stand that is still attached to the shell. It's been out of the shell since early this morning and is not yet dried off or...
Hello, I am needing to rehome my 8 call ducks. 2 males and 6 females. We are not allowed to keep them anymore, and We really want to find a good home for them. I am located in Wa.
Hi! So I would love to start breeding Magpie Call ducks. I have a blue bibbed Call pair, and I’m wondering what colour ducklings will my blue bibbed pair produce? Will they produce magpies? Thank you!
I have the chance to buy a call drake out of exhibition lines, but i didn’t know if he was more pet quality or if he was breeder/show quality and was wondering if anyone could tell me before I purchase him? I already have pet quality ducks and want to work towards show quality. Thanks
I incubated 3 mandarin duck eggs and 2 call duck eggs 31 days, 2 hours and 40 min ago. They have been trying to get out for 2 days has their shells continue to move when I speak to them through their incubator. I just candled them cause I needed to see what was going on. Eggs were shipped so all...
I have a call duck that disappeared a couple weeks ago. We finally managed to find her on the far side of the property sitting on a nest so we left her be but we would bring her food and water everyday so she doesn’t have to go far. As of last Sunday she and her eggs are nowhere to be found. The...
Hi everyone!
I successfully opened an air hole for a malpositioned call duck. Feeling pretty happy that I was able to catch the issue (already had one die due to malpositioned in this batch).
how do I keep the now-open air cell moist so that the yolk sack doesn’t dry out? The yolk sack is...
I have 9 call duck eggs in lockdown, hatching day starts tomorrow afternoon (day 26). Wondering what other people’s experiences are with the day that call duck eggs internally pip.
1. Is it right on hatching day or day(s) before?

Hi everyone!
We have a little black call duck named Puck. He was raised by us since he Hatched however he was the only one who made it from his clutch. He was raised alone for about 4 months around us during the heat of lockdown and had loads of attention 24/7. He even does tricks now which is...
I just bought my first call ducklings and I know all of the colors except these 2. One is all yellow with one spot on its head and the other one is yellow with a sort of dusty looking color on him. Any advice would be great 😊
My nearly three year old Mallard bantam still won't allow the blue fawn drake I introduce to them two weeks ago to breed any of the female ducks.
He breeds the mallard hen he came with, and attempts to force the rouen hen to copulate (this rouen is the absolute best friend of my dominant mallard...
I have a three year old mallard hen that proved multiple times she can sit and brood for a while, multiple times. This was before I purchased my new blue fawn call drake, I was considering letting my hen go broody on live eggs, thus breeding the two. Not completely sure I want to do this yet...
I was trying my first round of Call Duck eggs via an incubator, and after having them shipped in, and having to put wax on a couple cracks of two of them... I was feeling pretty good about the clutch. They went in officially on April 1st. Well the outlet that the incubator was plugged into...
I want to get a pair of call ducks this spring. But I live in the suburbs and I heard females are really loud. I have no experience with call ducks. Is one female call duck loud enough to piss off your neighbor? I live at the corner of the street so I only have one bright next to me.
Another...
