Call Duck

[clousert]

I don't know. Are you SURE there aren't any call ducks?:/

Not that I've found so far anyway. I've posted and asked around but mostly get no response or a couple responses of no longer breeding calls. One place called La Caille Ranch says they have a few on their private lake for pleasure so may get some babies but they mostly specialize in geese and peafowl. I will continue my search because I sure would love to have a few of these cuties. For now I'm going to try my hand at hatching some shipped eggs but have heard that there's not a lot of success in that. Keeping fingers crossed

I will!

If you find a place that breeds call ducks please tell me who because I have been looking for some also to show in the 4H

Are you in FL also?

 

[DuckRaiser]

No, not even close

. I live in the country and I already have ducks but after the raccoon duck kill I only have two more

. So now I am DESPRATE for more but I want call ducks. I sadly can't find any

.

 

[clousert]

Oh ok. I found lots of breeders in other states. Just not any here in FL. There are even a few on here that breed calls and have some for sale. I would just rather babies to raise myself if at all possible. I ordered some eggs from the closest breeder I could find that should be here next week so going to try that route. I just hope I dont kill the poor little things.

I may just buy some from a state fair

Not sure why they seem so hard to find in FL. Have never seen any at the fairs or swaps either. Maybe because they require a license to own/sell here in FL. I don't know. $50 per year seems like a small price to pay.

 

[DuckRaiser]

You have to pay every year to own a duck?

 

[clousert]

Basically yes. There are a couple species of ducks that you dont. I believe they're muscovy and pekin. Calls are a member of the mallard family that are not native to FL and all non native species require a license to own here. Stinks but it's not the end of the world I guess :/

Well, it is a small price to pay for such a cute little animal
