I have a call duckling that hatched with a deformed bill. It looks similar to scissor beak/crooked beak you find in chickens, but I think he only has one nostril. His tongue is also exposed so I’m constantly worried it’s going to dry out and cause him pain or make it difficult to eat. Right now...
Hello, my name is Oliver and I'm reaching out for some help.
This baby Call Duckling is a day old
Joint is immobile / stationary, will not bend or straighten.
It is the first time I've seen a case like this. This isn't about the foot- it's about the intertarsal leg joint (The ankle or elbow...
Evening All,
I am just looking for some advice.
I have just received 3 eggs posted, and I have candled them to look at the condition of them.
The air sac appears to be slightly saddle shaped (having done some reading about them).
I am leaving the eggs for 24 hour to settled before placing...
Hi I'm searching for magpie colored call ducks for sale. I can pick up in New Jersey or if they could be shipped to New Jersey that would be great!
Thank you!

What are call ducks? They are a mini version of full size ducks.
These friendly, talkative, male calls are pets only. They are gray and dusky mallard colored and are 11 months old. Ducks are social creatures so you need 2 or more. We love them, we just have too many...
My female call duck is ill and I’m totally baffled as to what is going on. My vet can’t come out due to the Coronavirus, so I have to figure it out and deal with it on my own. She’s egg laying age, my male call duck is constantly trying to procreate with her, and just started having problems...
Um, hi? My name is Megan and currently I am in the prosses of hatching 7 call ducks, 2 have hatched so far but I need some serious help with a few things. I found this place while doing research. :)
Ive been hatching my call ducks eggs for a few years but i wanted to get more into it so i had a few questions about more i depth stuff. I know a good amount about the genetic side of it. Before i ask anything these are the calls i have.

I'm putting 4 call duck eggs in my incubator and I wanted to hatch two chicken eggs with them, because this is the first time I've known, for sure, that I have specifically one of my chicken's eggs that I want to hatch.
This is my first time ever incubating call duck eggs, so I'm still...
I hatched two call ducklings two weeks ago and one of them has just not seemed to grow. She eats and drinks and is pretty active, but not as much as the other one. I’ve tried giving her some egg for extra nutrients but I’m just wondering if there is something else I should be doing. She is very...
My white call duck Sugar seems to be getting wet unlike the rest of my flock that use their preen glands to help them not get wet. I’ve tried doing research on wet feathers which led me to look at her preen gland. I have attached photos. It looks normal to me besides the fact that there is so...
Hello all, I have recently been incubating call ducks and I ran into a lot of problems during hatching. I got eight eggs off of eBay and they all arrived with no cracks but pretty wonky air cells. I let them sit large end up for 24 hours before incubating and 6 out of eight developed (one was...

So I purchased on eBay 8 call duck hatching eggs, and my boyfriend says he can't wait to smash them.
I believe it is due to their loud mouth duck-ness, their heavy work load, and the increased electric usage from keeping the incubator room above 70° all day while we are not home.
.....I...
Hello,
As the title says, I'm looking for all kinds of pictures of call ducks, and if you have them, ducklings. I've noticed that it can be hard to find good pictures of different colours and especially of their colours when they are ducklings.
I'm starting a project to create a complete...
Hiya, so I am a chicken owner looking into getting ducks in the next few years. I’ve heard that Call ducks are a good breed, but I know almost nothing about them.
What are they for? (Meat, eggs, neither?)
How do they behave?
If I put them in our garden, would they eat all the plants?
Thank you...
Hello everyone,
I am looking for a new home for my beautiful male call duck. I had a wonderful flock of call ducks in a variety of colors and l loved them dearly but last week, tragically, I lost them all but one. A lynx attack my flock during the night and I woke to find only one alive in my...
Hi everyone! This is my 7 year old boy, Edwin. For the last couple of weeks I've noticed he has had the feathers around his eyes looking a bit "dirty". They have access to drinking water they can get their heads into and a small bath in their enclosure. After noticing this I've made a special...
