    Do you like these Call Ducks?

    Hi, What do you all think of our exhibition call ducks? There is a pair of whites and a pair of abacots (in America abacots are called Snowys). Any thoughts would be great. Thanks Upper Brook House Farm

    Our family just adopted 3 call ducklings (in addition to 4 chicks) and will be working on building their respective coops over the next 2-3 weeks.
