Linda, I am NOT having the best Spring Either! My one and Only Female Call Duck was dead the other morning. I have hatched out 4 babies from her and came home from work yesterday and one baby was dead. It was a week old, eating drinking and fine. So I do not know if it choked or what.

I have the eggs I got from you in the bator so hoping for more Calls. Will let you know.

Lets hang in there together people!

I hoper you day gets brighter Luvducks, and I sure hope you hatch those eggs and get the joy of more calls, if not you holla at me we will work something out, I had a buff orphington go broody and she is a big chicken LOL so I put 2 dozen call eggs under her, my white call is setting on a dang nest full of eggs, 2 Black east indies are setting on a butt load of eggs, if these other would go broody I would be in there, lol

^ Nice ducklings!

Question: Did anyone here ever cross a call duck with a runner duck?

Oooh, look at those cute butterscotch calls! I have a butterscotch pair of calls and I just love them.

I haven't uploaded the pictures yet, but I'll share them in this thread when I get a chance--I currently have two black east indies ducklings! I had my broody serama hens sit on the eggs for the first twenty or so days and then took them and hatched them in the incubator. They're so darling and energetic and fun! And tiny, too! Their parents, Teal and Jade, are fairly flighty and I'm hoping that these two will be friendlier with lots of handling from me from day one.

Bantam ducks are the best!
