Da' Cute and Cuddly Call Duck thread!

[Amykins]

Hi, I'm new to duck owning. I was told mine where Call ducks but not 100% sure. What type they actually are!
Could you help me identify what type they are please?
thank you

Look like calls to me! :3

day 19 for my eggs, so excited!!

Yay! We're both call hatchers! <3 Keep us updated! I actually dreamt about hatching duckies last night. Talk about being an egghead.

It's the rest of the world that's crazy if dreaming of baby ducks makes us an egg head!

I started off with 25 shipped eggs, 12 were clear and I've lost 3 others so far, so now I've just got 10

What total do you think I'll get, it's my first time incubating duck eggs -especially calls- myself and I know these buggers are gonna drive me insane (these should/t have as much trouble because they aren't show quality)

have you ever hatched them before, I need a run down of hatch day

Any call duck is going to have a lower hatch rate than other breeds, but if yours aren't show quality then yes, you can expect to have better luck than most. I've hatched several clutches from champion bloodlines so far and I have had a 66% hatch rate - some get as low as 50%. You shouldn't have this problem. I'm sure your lil' baby webfeets will be able to bust open that shell all on their own. But it's always good to stick around on hatch day, just in case!
