Call Ducks

LOL...terrielacy and turbo

I haven't been on much the last couple of days....just became a grandma again.

My white ones are probably my favorite too.

Thanks Turbo for the kind words...I've enjoyed doing business with you too and look forward to more dealings in the future.

I can think of a lot worse things to carry my name than some cute white call ducks!!

Well it helps that you are such a nice person Katy...

I have alot of people in the public that think my 3 yr old daughter is actually my granddaughter....especially at McDonalds for some reason...

Anyway congratulations on the grandbaby...heck I wish my kids had a grandma that was like you!

Smartie_Pants answers in order:

1. They should get along with your other ducks if they are free ranged...however during the breeding season the call drakes can get pretty aggressive even toward the big duck hens..I would seperate them out during the breeding season, also they can fly like a bird...really.

2.They can eat just like the big ducks, but keep the protein down to about 16 percent on the ducklings after two weeks...otherwise you will have problems with drop wing and angel wing.

3.They dont need anything special...

4.Try the feather site...or you can go to my website, I have pictures of different colors there..

WARNING!! Call Ducks are very addictive...so be carfull...you will end up with all kinds of them within in a year.

Oh well... you know I will have hatching eggs available for whites in the spring and I probably dont live that far from you..you can email me if you want to get on the list. I am also at most shows in Kentucky so I am sure you could met up with me there..

Hey olpoll you can send me some yellow belly eggs and can you get me some chocolate wyandotte eggs too? So Apricot is the same thing as our Pastel, right? I have met John Soper (he is from over the pond too) several times at the Nationals and always try to convince him to get me some yellow belly's..we just dont have them over here.

1) yes they do but ditto what Turbo said!
2) yes they can
3) They HAVE to have water when they eat so they don't choke
