I lost my Marty yesterday morning to a snake

so sorry, congrats on the new babies

Here are some photos of my call duck alaska just a quick question for you call duck experts... when do calls
Lay? She’s around 41 weeks still no egg? And will they mate with larger ducks? I have two magpie drakes which seem really close with her and another
Call drake which is bullied by her will they be able to create babies? Considering their size differences ?

yes they will, just be careful of the size difference but a magpie shouldnt be too bad, you probably wont start getting eggs until spring

do you only have the 3 drakes and one duck? or do you have more females?

Intrested in the magpies than others... do calls
Lay many eggs?

Peg being a Call *I think* makes a big difference in her ability to adapt... between the weight difference and that she was born that way is why she has been so successful healthwise... I still feel awful about Chrissy...

Likely. Chrissy was pretty chunky in build even for her breed... my current WH female [Brooke] is much smaller and slimmer.

I think she would have been all right for a few more years had her leg not broken. Combined with using her wings a bit, she could get around all right. I am wondering if that was more my fault than I originally thought. She was churning out huge eggs every day, literally every day for weeks... and she wasn't getting layer feed or oyster shell. I completely forgot until a week or two prior to the break. I don't know which bones they draw from most but I have had a rotten feeling in my chest that that at least contributed to it.

Anyway... I am going off topic now. Apologies.
