I’m checking back in after a long time away, it's been years since I was last active here, and I’m excited to rejoin the flock!
I’m writing from Hawaii, where. I've raised chickens for 42 years now. It’s truly been a lifelong passion. These days, I focus on a few select breeding projects that...
this chicken is so fascinating to me in terms of color. it came from a Lavender roo + a white dom paint hen that also had that ruddy color but it was much lighter.
i have learned that the overall coloring is "paint" or "ermine" - thank you forum for that!
i am still trying to figure out the...

(Including a photo of her “condo” as I like to call it…)
She is a singleton khaki campbell duck born in March of last year. Her companion unfortunately died of a fox attack this past summer. :(
She has about 6 inches of pine shavings inside of a cardboard...
Hi there! New member here!
Im working on Dun, Khaki, and Platinum line Olive Eggers on the west coast! Im hoping to find some other breeders in the US that I could bounce questions back and forth with.
My current question is, I had crossed two platinums last spring and created what i thought...
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...
my brain is fried, trying to understand these genetics. is this correct? can anyone share photos? I'm breeding specifically with silkies and satins, but any pics help.
dun x dun = 1/4 khaki, 1/4 black, 1/2 dun
dun x blue = 100% platinum
Hello everyone! I raise pet backyard chicks and currently have 19 ranging from 5 months to 5 years in age. I have a few pullets that I can only guess as to what their colors & genetics are. I hatched them from my backyard flock, from my one rooster as the father. The rooster is supposedly...
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!
My khaki went broody yesterday and has been whole heartedly tending to her nest of eggs. However, we woke up this morning to two fresh inches of snow... in mid April (and we’ve had several colder nights before she started sitting on the eggs). Are the eggs under her still alive and well or is...
I have proven them all wrong when I got my khaki Campbell fancy to finally find a safe place away from my house and all my other animals. My two girls picked a nice tree in a flower bed of my neighbor's four houses down and they both went fully Brody towards the end one of my ducks came back and...
SHE is supposed to be sitting on her nest. But she hasnt really been on it much lately. She goes on it at night around 10 or 11pm until morning. And then on and off all day! I think shes also laying again. Not sure. The eggs in her nest have life.. I have candled them.
Hi guys!
I've recently acquired three Khaki Campbell ducklings. Right now they are about 4/5 weeks old. Two of them have a sort of light gray beak with a dark spot at the end and one has a solid color beak all the way through. All three of them have a little bit of yellow coming through on...
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...
We hatched ducks this year and ended up with too many males. So we are getting rid of our male pekin and campbell ducks. They must go together. If we cant find a home for them,we may have to make them dinner and id rather not do that.
We are on the rhode island conneticut line. Cannot drop...
Okay so I have two, 3-4 weeks old Pekins and a Khaki of the same age and one of the Pekin ducklings has significantly larger thighs than either of his/her 'siblings' I'm really not sure what's going on, it doesn't seem to cause him/her any discomfort but he/she is very pigeon toed and overal...
Ok this generic color has to still be alive somewhere? Anyone know of a true Dun program??? It isn't sex linked like chocolate but behaves more like blue producing Dun/khaki/dun splash like black/blue/black splash.
Please email me at the below address if I don't respond here if you know of...

I have a mixed flock of 4 chickens, two 3mo old khaki females, and two juvinile midget white turkeys. They eat a general “flock” food as my local farm store told me to get. I switched today to a higher protein (19%) game bird food for the flock. They have free range of my 2/3acre lot that has an...
