Da' Cute and Cuddly Call Duck thread!

[Julie Birb]

Oh, and I've had to doctor frostbite (combs, wattles & feet) & even amputate a wing that was pulled off by a raccoon.

That is major surgery to take off a wing. Poor bird. Sad. How is he/she now?

 

[Julie Birb]

I had rabbits, goats, turtles, cats, dogs, hamsters & fish growing up. Now I've added pigs, chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese, quail, peafowl & guineas. The dogs, hamsters & fish are the only thing missing these days.

Neat. So many different animals. And so I imagine you have to have so many different foods on hand for them.

Eagles Nest Poultry in northern Ohio will ship called ducklings. I personally do not ship ducklings because of how tiny they are and how fragile they are. I only ship fully feather juvenile birds

How old are they by the time they're fully feathered and you're comfortable shipping them? Do you happen to have any available?

8 weeks minimum. I do not have any right now. I just had someone speak for the last pet quality pair I had available. It will be late sumer or early fall now. I breed snowy and grey for show.

Oh and one other thing, how do you get a hold of Eagles Nest Poultry? Do they have a website?

Are there breeders that ship Call ducklings?

Same as minihorse, I don't ship little babies due to their fragile-ness. But I do ship them once they are starting to feather (6-8 weeks). I've had great luck doing it this way

I'd like to start with babies, so I guess I'll try eggs.

My mom flipped out when I informed her I was on a waiting list for Pita Pinta Austuriana. Just wait till I tell her I'm looking into Ducks...
