AHHHHH YES YES THE SUPRISE! Hay peach guess what. SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!!

Yay!! Lol. It's all yellow but has some dark splotches on its back. The ducklings are shunning it.

Oh my call ducklings got here safely. They aren't magpies, more blue pieds or heavy on the white blue bibbed/ possibly silver?? Not sure. Not complaining though for the price!!!

Did that chick come from a tiney egg?

 

[peachncrm37]

The egg is the same size as the call duck eggs

 

[Dianne1928]

So let me just tell you all the experience I've had over the last few weeks. Sorry for the venting but I am so aggravated at this point. I had a guy buy a pair of white calls that I had for sale a few weeks ago. He has other ducks but this were his first calls. About 2 weeks later I get an email from him asking if I had another female for sale because the night before he was going to put the pair into the main pen something got the female and killed her. He said that it must be the male that was left because his other ducks chase it away and it doesn't really quack much. I apologized for his loss but explained that I didn't have any others available for sale right now. Also explained that his existing flock would chase new comers for a week or so no matter what sex because they're showing who's dominant over the flock and that if she "quacked" at all she was a female as the males don't really "quack". I had already explained all of this before in our conversations before he actually bought them. I offered him a hen as soon as my pairs started laying and I had a hen available. I didn't hear back from him for a couple weeks. This morning I get an email from him saying I can have the female back if I can come catch her as she is just too loud and "annoying". So he obviously didn't do any research on them before buying them, didn't listen to anything I told him, and we went from a male not quacking much to a female that's annoying. I'm sure she's probably lonely as heck being that he never replaced the lost one and she's probably all alone. I have 18 calls and mine rarely make much noise at all. The girls might sound off 2-3 times a day for maybe 15 seconds at a time. But they're not all alone, in a new place with other ducks they're unfamiliar with. I really hate people sometimes!

OMG THANK YOU for posting that!!!! I'm pretty sure he contacted me wanting to buy my blue fawn pet quality male!!!!

He said her mate got killed and she wouldn't stop quacking. I told him he could buy my male but that wouldn't stop her from quacking as call ducks were bred to quack. He then asked if I would trade him my male for his female. I told him I wouldn't mind doing that, BUT they are sociable animals and they should be in pairs NOT by themselves and I suggested maybe it wasn't the breed for him. The last email was just yesterday morning and I haven't heard anything else!!! Sounds like he got back ahold of you after that!!!
