So I’m planning on getting some call ducklings soon (around early September) but most places I’ve researched won’t have any babies around that time. I was wondering if anyone knew of anywhere near me or that I can order from (with a low min. order I only want like 2 calls to start with). I live...
Hello,
I don’t know whether I’m posting this in the right section because I’m new!!!
Anyway, a bit about myself... we keep lots of show-winning ducks to breed from, and we keep them on acres of grass. However, I recently came across a lovely pair of abacot call ducks and I have now reserved...

Quick introduction, I live on 40+ acres and own all sorts of animals. Turkeys, chickens, ornamental pheasants, Guineas, Geese, and ducks. Out of all of the different types of poultry I raise my favorites would have to be my ducks~
I myself have 3 welsh harlequins, 4 buffs, 9 rouens, a few mixes...
I had a duckling just 3 weeks old I had to have put down for neurological symptoms (seizures, fell over upside down and could right itself, couldn't stand, etc). I took her, Flip, to the vet and they said she had no pupillary response and we had her put down. We took her to University of...
What sq foot per call duck am I looking for for the inside of their coop (NOT RUN) I found a great dog house I can make work, hubby feels like it’s big enough but I want to make sure im not crowding them. I have three calls and they sleep practically on top of one another.
Our 3 ducklings, have a good sized brooder with a spot to swim in, a piece of wood to waddle on and a decent amount of space to walk. My chicken brooder has lots of entertainment for th chicks but my ducks just have the swimming spot....should I include anything else? (We’re newbies!!) TIA
I live in s.e.Ohio and have a few of several different breeds of bantams, chickens and ducks.
We also have dozens of rabbits, a few goats and a dozen equine from 27"tall to 16 hh. Oh, yes, and dogs.
I'm hoping to find chicks and hatching eggs here within an hour or so driving distance. I've...
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.
Due to the possibility of moving this summer we are making the coops to be easy for us to transport until we finalize our plans. For the ducks, how...
Hi I'm Dee and new here and see so many people helping each other. I'm a preschool teacher and we hatch ducks and Call ducks each year while teaching the preschoolers about the life cycles. It's our favorite time of year and most stressful for me too. I currently have 18 Call ducks in my Brines...
I haven't had a lot of following on my other thread:
Call Duck Hen failure to commit
so I thought I'd just do a follow up post to share the results of the incubation attempt.
After a few early deaths, a couple of infertiles, and one accidental egg cracking (incubator lid fell in), we've ran the...
Ok, so this is where I'm going to document the journey of so SOOOOO many firsts! To lay some foreground on my story, I am an animal addict, yet we live on the outskirts of town with neighbors literally close enough on both sides I could throw a rock at each house without much effort (not that I...
Okay, I know what I have to do, if you want to help, read this: https://www.mpi.govt.nz/importing/live-animals/avian-hatching-eggs/steps-to-importing-avian-hatching-eggs/
Do I have to need the eggs for commercial purposes? In NZ I believe you can only import duck eggs from Australia, which is...
I have a female snowy call and my drake is mallard. I'm kinda stuck because from what I'm reading call ducks are hard to hatch. I'm hatching from a GQF 1502 temp at 99.5 and my humidity is around 54% until lock down. From what I'm reading call ducks need assistance hatching because of beak and...
Hi there,
So I currently raise quail, but they are attracting too many predators so this spring I am ducking out of raising them. I will be building a new coop out of my old one, though. Its original design was for quail- it's 4x8, like this:
But, I want to raise something to put in that coop...
For all my life I have had chickens.. All types of colors and sizes, But recently I've been eyeing some other animals I've wanting to add to my flock and so.. My dad and brother went and bought me 6 ducklings as a surprise. 5 turned out to be drakes and 1 turned out to be a hen.. What luck...
Hey guys, so this morning I found this one little baby duck roaming around the yard. No clue where he/she has come from as none of my call ducks are currently setting. The baby showed up without a mum.
It's predominately black, black beak, black legs..
Unsure whether it's one of my calls or...
My family is all about chickens, we have a ton of them and actually just came back from a chicken show this weekend. I'm looking to move into actually breeding ducks though for quality, but all of my experience is in chickens. My grandfather is the biggest Serama breeder where I am and that's...
