Call Ducks Finally Hatched

[Lacrystol]

Yeah, the enemy is right on the money! But after getting HIM untangled from the fence, he was so docile and willing to let us patch him up. The wildlife rehab guy is considering raising it as a pet because he says he has never had one come through that was so....tame. And he was VERY SOFT.

Hes soooo cute. Lol. I would have probably done the same thing.

Yeah it's a mallard like from a separate aviary pure bred mallard duck


My grey calls are in the call pen

And pictures for u

That's the best picture of the little guy that I have, his mom just passed away so I'm glad I have him

Oh no what happened to mom? I love the little foot sticking out from the other little guy. Lol. YOUR SO LUCKY!

One of my favorite call hens

I am hoping for some more lilacs like this guy now that I have some more chocolate genetics in the flock!

Adorable innocent minis.

Congratulations, they are cute.

Do you know where I could buy a call duck? My neighbor lost her female to a nasty dog and her male is lost without its mate. I would like to get her a new one but at the swap meets there are only a few and they are sold fast. Thanks for any help.

I really screwed up my Gray Calls nesting efforts. I built a really nice 24x32 "Duck Aviary that is about 50-50 pond and shoreline. My construction efforts around her nest box spooked her away. She stopped laying in the box after 9 eggs. I found her new nest today with 3 eggs in it under our windmill tower, which is not inside the enclosure(I let them free range during the day). So.......I just started warming up the incubator and I plan to start incubating the 12 eggs I now have tommorrow. I plan to keep everyone confined in the aviary with the now empty nest box for the next several days, maybe she'll go back to the nest box now that construction is over with. Wish me luck and any advice will be appreciated, as always!

Wishing you luck! Hopefully she will settle down and go back to laying in the nest box. Ducks do not like change, so give her a bit to settle back in.

Maybe I didn't screw up as bad as I thought! She laid an egg in the nest box today. So maybe she will lay another full clutch and I will have some success with the 12 in the incubator. Could be a "Two-fer"!
