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.

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...

My question is has anyone ever heard of welsh harlequin call ducks? Thank you!
Hey all!
I recently purchased a trio of Grey Pied Calls. The females are what I expected but the male is a little ... interesting. It has a predominately female pattern but has a drake feather and makes all the right noises. It does have a patch of more masculine feathering on its chest and is...
Hey everyone! So a few weeks back I got a Call Duck duckling (hatched May 17). Just the one but I didn’t want it to be lonely so I started looking for another duckling quickly. I was after something with Cayuga coloring so when the man who hatched this duckling (~May 19) told me it was...
I'm going to put my call duck eggs in the hatcher tomorrow night and I've never hatched call ducks. I've hatched lots of other ducks but not call ducks. Do call ducks always need assistance to hatch? I don't want to wait too long so they die so I need to know if I will definitely need to assist...

Hi there! This is my second attempt at hatching call duck eggs. I have several questions about call duck hatching since they seem to have a much more complicated hatch than other ducks.
I had 3 fertile call duck eggs in the incubator(and also have 2 fertile swedish eggs in there as well)...
Aaaaaand we’re back..
4 years later and I’m lucky enough to need to use this app again.
Basically.. I jokingly bid on some call duck eggs (on eBay) and was surprised the next day when a “Congratulations! You won” appeared on my phone..
So here we are. Day 1.
5/9 eggs have saddled air cells...
Hi all,
I decided to add two call ducks to our flock. We have 8 hens, one female indian runner and one female pekin. The call ducks are only about 2 weeks old now so they are, of course still living inside in the brooder and being spoiled rotten (just like our hens and indian runner were, the...
Hi I'm new to the forum, and this is my first post other than the hello I'm here one :)
I have a 1/2 dozen call ducks in the incubator, I set them away about 7 days ago (first candle today) and they look OK (I think - not totally brilliant at candling).
I also now have a young duck sitting...
