calls tend to be 1 to 1.5 pound, have shorter bills then a average duck, short legs, and a short tug boat shaped body.

Have not posted in a long time. Silas is now quaking! He and I can possibly say he with confidence has a deep raspy quack the same as the sound of the majestic waterfowl male. My kids call it his full grown man quack! He is so cool! He goes everywhere I go. He so enjoyed our trip to lows yesterday. He sits up front and from time to time he will sit on my dashboard! He is well loved and is truly part of the family! I see all the beautiful pictures of the other ducks I am grateful to be part of the backyard chickens family.

Got my new JN 24 incubator and have started a batch of call eggs to test it out. Love the fact that the auto turner holds the eggs on their sides naturally and rolls them. Will see how much I have to assist in the end but not having to turn them all 3 times a day is time saving in itself
