I want call ducks in the WORST way ... but my neighbors would shoot me. They're so tolerant of my under-the-radar roosters that I don't dare take the chance on noisy "ducklets!"I am a duck person and have been breeding selectively to get a better colour and smaller Calls without the stubby bills.. It's a hobby is all...
Yes..Call Hens are noisy little Birds. Yesterday when we were working on the pen my Ducks flew high above us and landed back around the house again. I was a bit shocked because they don't do that very often..My Son ran to do a head count. All 5 are still here..
The top one's a porcelain ... I LOVE that color!
Yes..That's WVDuckchicks Rooster. He is neat looking.
Do you mean crosses?
What an absolutely ADORABLE picture!
I am new to bantams. My understanding is bantams are miniature of large breed chickens minus the purebred bantam chickens. Can you have a miniature bantam chicken of a bantam chicken?
We had a super-tiny Nankin. She was itty-itty-bitty! I had planned to breed her back to my smallest roo, but there must have been something wrong to cause her tiny size. She didn't live very long. I wish she had, though ... she was SOOOOO neat! At 16 weeks, she just barely filled my palm! I wish I had pictures, but she never sat (or even stood) still long enough to get any good ones, and when she roosted, the others wrapped her up like a mama hen with littles!
