Hi there! I’m new to the forum (and to duck ownership!) and I’m hoping I can get some confirmation or insight. We purchased 4 khaki campbells from a local farmer - but did not see parents. The ducklings were all mixed colours - more so than we expected for our chosen breed, and of those we chose...
Live outside Portland, Oregon metro area, have 30+ year farm with plenty of mowed pastures and secure barn. Would like to add 2 or 3 youngish adult female ducks, laying breed type, to my existing small flock. Currently have Welsh Harlequins and Indian Runners but what do you have? Will pay...
I just wanted to share some videos of my babies! All four are Khaki Campbell ducks. Sammy and Rufus are about 2 months old and Daisy and Cricket are about 3 weeks old. My dog is a Blue Heeler (Australian Cattle Dog) and her name is Elliott (Ellie). The girls have been staying in a see-no-touch...
Hi I was wondering if anyone could offer some advice. I have a khaki Campbell (just over a two years old) who injured her leg, it wasn’t broke so I placed her on bed rest so she could let the leg heal and prevent further damage. While on bed rest she became broody and has been sitting on 3 eggs...
I forgot to post this yesterday!
Yesterday I had gone out to refill the waterers for everyone and noticed that one of our hens had escaped and was in with the baby chicks and ducklings. Colonel wasn't having any of it so he kept going after the hen to chase her off.
The hen was really scared...
Hello all! New duck mom here, I've had my babies since a couple days old from TS, so they're about 8.5 weeks old... so my questions is, are they both khakis? My one almost looks like female mallard... and my other is really dark! I've searched this forum high and low a s just when I think I've...
One of my ducks was killed by a dog today (I have 2). Sadly it was my favourite duck who was friendly and calm whilst sitting on your lap. I got another duck today (8 week Khaki) so the other one wouldn’t be so lonely. Both of them are very afraid of me. They’re both around the same age. Is...

Our Khaki Campbells are 5 weeks old. I’m pretty sure we have 2 of each sex. We already have a well mannered, protective drake and one is enough for our small flock. I’m ready to try rehoming the boys. The drake has gotten out of his...
My two female muscovies have just started laying eggs! I was excited to have some fir baking that were non fertile. I have a larger flock of khakis and pekins hens and only one khaki Drake. I was fairly certain that he could not mate with my muscovies because I have yet to witness it. However...
I've recently purchased my first real sizable flock from Metzers and TSC, I've got 2 female Rouens, 4 female Pekins, 14 female Campbells, and 5 male Campbells. I chose these ducks because I own a local bakery and will use the eggs in baking to supplement my needs there, and we have a local...
Hi!
I'm currently on the search for female ducklings. Our 2-3(?) week old male KC Duckling currently lives with our baby chicks but I would like to get him some female ducklings.
Breeds I'm looking for:
-Cayuga
-Runners
-Khaki Campbell
I can pay extra to have them delivered as I don't drive...
On the 30th of last month I was given a 2 day old duckling that had leg problems (it couldn't stand or walk). Long-ish story short, it was niacin deficient but is now perfectly fine and living in a Rubbermaid in my bedroom until my other ducks and geese hatch.
The girl who hatched him got the...
Just starting a thread so everyone who's read my 2 other posts can stay updated on Colonel.
Here's a picture of Colonel.
This is how he currently looks
I will keep this thread active with lots of photos and videos of him & his females.
The names of the 2 females I'm getting on April 12th...
Despite my mother telling me no, I plan on getting some sexed female ducks for Colonel so that he doesn't go after out hens when he's older.
Our city has a noise law so we have to make sure they stay quiet or we'll get fined. We already have shitty neighbors who have called on us once before for...
Hi,
This is my first post, but I do have thank the members on this forum. We have researched a ton over the past year and we can always find the answer here!
Bear with me, I will get to my questions!
This past year or so is our first year raising a flock. We decided (maybe foolishly) to...

I just hatched out 5 Khaki Campbell ducks on Feb. 14th. I dont know how to sex them so they are straight run.
Im in Cedar Hill, Tn. Asking $5 per duckling.
Hello, I lost a duckling at 45 days and I had five khaki Campbell’s (one male/4 females). I want to know whether I lost a female or if it was the male I lost.
Hi everyone!
I live in Miami and on my way home from work yesterday I stop at PetSmart to pick up cat and dog food. When I was getting out of the car I see a lady with a small box. As she's looking around mysteriously I realize she puts the box down on the side of a Coke Machine near the...
