Call Ducks Finally Hatched

[Lacrystol]

Oh good, glad it's going ok!!

Haha yes she does!!! I definitely didn't plan on building an extra coop just to house my Anconas since my calls have taken over their pen!!

In the past two weeks my Anconas AND bob whites have both started laying. So I am incubating all their eggs, very excited to have my very own babies from them!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO,


LET THE DISEASE ENTER YOUR BLOOD STREAM, DON'T FIGHT IT, YOU CAN'T WIN. HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH

Sorry, I'm hear what's up???

I have 12 baby calls, about a month old. One (Dory) was a runt from the get go.
They, as you know, grow fast! Well she's now less than half the size of everyone else.
They all are getting most of their feathers like normal.....Here's the puzzler..she has no feathers! Still just a fuzz ball.



Her in the beginning



She's lively and eats and drinks fine. Just stunted for some reason.
Any thoughts??

She's lacking Vitamins probably Niacin, put a Vitamin B Complete tablet in a quart of water, if you have a gallon then put Four tablets in there. See if that doesn't help. She is a small one. LOL. A cutie pie though..

it's OK for the others to get some as well.

Sorry been super busy lately so haven't updated. I am swimming in call ducklings.

Clousert the pieds from you are feathering out awesome. The light one actually looks apricot. I will have to send you some pictures and get your opinion on her. Absolutely beautiful, and definite keeper.

If anyone's interested in ducklings let me know!!! I have plenty for sale.

try some chicken shells. oops lets try this again.

Going to try and grab some this morning when I go out to feed!

Need some help for a friend with an issue. She bought a trio of white call ducks a month ago. The hens have been laying soft eggs. She's tried oyster shell, as well as a few other things and no such luck, eggs are still soft.

Any ideas??? I was completely lost. Anytime I've gotten soft shells it cleared up after a couple days of oyster shells.

Try some Chickens Shells..

Thank you!
Seems weird that just her. I have them on unmedicated starter food. But I will definitely try that.
She is a cutie. They still sleep inside at night so every time I water them I take her out so she doesn't get trampled.
Now she comes to the cage door because she's knows I'm going to take her out to water her
She's become quite tame and used to sitting on my lap.
