Hi all!
Seems everyday I have a new question about my ladies. My Campbell, Tina is recovered from her “sprained ankle” and is no longer limping Yay! but I’m curious to how many eggs Campbells lay a day?
My Cayuga lays an egg every 3 days or so, and both my Campbells having been laying every...
How common is it for Muscovies and Mallard-derived breeds to cross? Is it less likely to happen if there is a muscovy drake around? I did not separate my muscovy duck from the khaki Campbell drake, I don't think the drake would have bred her because for whatever reason the Muscovies sort of...
This beautiful hen brooded and hatched out ducklings in 2016. This short clip features her vocalizing to the baby, clucking to it at the end and scolding me in the beginning!
So I currently have 5 Khaki cambells. 3 Hens, 2 Drakes. I also have 10 Pekins. I plan on keeping 6 ducks all together, 1 Drake and 5 hens. So my question is which of the two Cambell Drakes should I keep? One of them has a light yellow-green bill and two hens that follow him around, the second...
I just got three new white campbell (drake and two ducks) and put them together with my two mallards (drake and duck).
They were doing fine together outside, but I noticed that the campbells, especially the drake, is picking on the mallards. Nipping and biting them
They are together for 2 days...

Hi! I recently received 4 baby khaki Campbell's. One has a yellow stripe by it's eye and has a lighter chest. Is this a different breed of duck? Or is it a male. The rest look similar and are all khaki colored. They were sexed as female at 1 day old, but I imagine that's not fool proof. Thanks...
A month ago I had a flock of 10 including: 3 runners(1m 2f), 4 Campbell’s (3m 1f), 2 Anconas(2m), and 1 m Rouen. We suddenly had a horrible blizzard out of nowhere one night so when one f runner disappeared (we still haven’t found her) we didn’t think much of it, we kinda just assumed she blew...
Hello ducky people,
It’s late spring/early summer here in Australia, and this evening, my 11&1/2 year old Dark Campbell ‘Olive’ started searching out little secret spots in the garden, making nests in the mulch and sitting there quietly hiding. She was also making that ‘I need to lay an egg’...
Hello lovely peeps!
I’ve been a long-time lurker on this forum... For years it’s been my go-to place for any duck related info, and it’s always reaffirming to read the stories of equally poultry obsessed people!
Recently, I’ve had some bad luck in losing two of my older ducks to age and...
Hello all! I’m new to ducks and in May brought home two 8wk old ducklings. The farm we got them from had Anaconas, Rouen, Campbells and Muskvoy ducks for sale, I asked for some females and he brought me what he had left. He wasn’t sure what they were though, kinda a strange situation. So flash...
so far I’ve kept my new ducks within their own yard with my turtle pond and protected at night. I can’t find any reference to allowing them to enter the salt marsh tidal creek as to what salt environment will cause problems. Are khaki’s able to thrive in coastal marsh areas of SC?
hi, I've got 3 broody ducks with no drake (they are not good breeds to be mothers so decided not to get a drake). so obviously nothing was gonna happen there, I let them sit for just shy of 4 weeks, before I decided they had earnt some ducklings, I bought 10, day old ducklings to share between...
