Call duck pics and ????s....

[CrzyChicLady]

I got these Call ducks from a friend who couldn't take care of them anymore. He told me it was 4 males and 3 females. I'm going to get rid of 3 males to make the ration 1:3. I'm wondering which drake I should keep. I'm assuming the two white and the one butterscotch are the females? I like the one drake with the dark head (all the way on the right of the pic) because he is very stocky and round but I also like the light colored ones too. What do you think? Does the 1 drake to 3 duck ratio sound about right? Which drake do you think would make the prettiest babies? Also, they are very nervous. Is this normal for call ducks or is it because they were poorly socialized? Finally, what's a good treat for them?

1 male to 3 girls is good. Doesn't matter which male you like just pick one, they're all great. It's normal for them to be afraid, poor socialization.

So those light colored drakes are "butterscotch"?

 

[critterranch]

I say you buy your whites a drake. Get 8 more butterscoth females(to make the ratio 1 drake to 3 ducks), and get three grey females. Perfect solution! Haha!

Yay more duckies!

I hope to one day have calls! They are adorable!
