Da' Cute and Cuddly Call Duck thread!

Pics
I am very interested what kind of calls do you have that are ready? And how much would you like me to pay you for one baby call?

Wow...she's already a pretty big girl. Are you sure you want a call duck and not another mallard? She will grow to be much bigger than the calls I raise. I've never raised big ducks with my call ducks so I'm not sure if the full size ducks pick on the little ones or not? I'd imagine that a duck is a duck to them and they'd get along okay but you may want to ask around the site to see for sure. Are you interested in a male or female? Also, we can only ship if weather permits it. If it is too hot in either your place or mine...it's really too dangerous for the baby. We seem to have a few cool days coming here in TN but I'll have to see what the temps are like there in Florida too. Oh and please be aware that anyone who agrees to ship you a very young call duck isn't doing what is best for you or the duck. Very young call ducklings don't ship well AT ALL and you could very easily open up the box to find a dead baby. In my humble opinion, it is unethical to ship very young calls and too great of a risk to take....if someone was to agree to ship you a "single" baby call duck...well that's just horrible and I would HIGHLY advise against it.

The calls that I have that could ship are all buffs...I'm not selling any of my other colors just yet. Would you be interested in two? It may make the trip less stressful if there's a buddy in the box. I can get a few pics of the babies tomorrow morning and post them. My prices vary...you can pm me for more info if you like.
 
Two little call ducklings just hours after hatching. I couldn't not take a photo, when I walked by the tub and saw the yellow one sleeping on his back.

I'm not sure what color these will be, as I hadn't divided up my pair of Silver Appleyards, pair of Grays, and trio of Blue Butterscotch and Apricot Silver.



One of two call duck pens we built this Spring. The 4x4's are free oak cribbing that came from shipping supplies from a factory. And the lids on either end are off of pallets. The ducks LOVE them, and now I feel bad for my trio that's still in the old pen.

 


This weekends hatch of call ducklings. I should have plenty of buff, pastel, butterscotch, snowy, gray, and white calls to sell this fall.

Ack! the dead baby sleeping look, i hate that look, scares you to death! love your pen! were doing something similar for ours.
 
Hi, I only have 1 call duck that has made to the pipping stage. IF this one and only survives, I know I need to get him a friend. My question is what age range can the new duckling be and does if have to be a call as I probably have to go with CL. Will it be ok with a Peking? If the other duck is a week? I have another incubator with 15 call duck eggs that is 2 weeks behind. Any advice would be helpful.
 
I'm incubating my two call duck babies right now. I'm so nervous!!! I've wanted Calls for ages. My HOA won't allow it but I'm stubborn. They don't allow dogs either and tons of my neighbors own them anyway.
