Da' Cute and Cuddly Call Duck thread!

[Julie Birb]

Just sharing a pic of some of this years birds (some are for sale if anyones looking) I hatched quite a few black and white ancona, some blue ancona and magpie, and some nice chocolate ancona and chocolate bibbed. Now I just need a chocolate drake!

In love. Love. Cute faces. Cute bodies. Bitty birds.

After two ducks mate, how long can the male's contribution live inside the female? Lol, I'm asking because I'm getting Call eggs and their was a male Pekin living with the Call ducks. He's since been moved Wednesday of this week. If he had mated the Calls, he should be long out their system by now right?

Since the Pekin has been moved (4 days ago) the first egg was layed today. It should be 100% Call? I only want pure bred Call. So if there is any chance, I don't want to take it. I only want Call.

Not the very first egg ever but the first since the Pekin has been moved. Now there's only three Calls in the duck pen - the male and the two females, that have been together from the very start. And, the females have been laying eggs for months and months now.

I love Darwin. So his head turned green. Wow. He is extraordinarily cute. I love the neck adornments you put on him. He is precious. I am definitely a fan.

These three ducklings are a friend's of mine. She has three Calls (two Grey females and a Snowy male) as well as a female Mallard and a male Pekin too. The first two pictures are of the babies at about 3 days old and the last picture is of the babies taken on November 14th. Do they look like they are full bred Call?

I would guess no... there could be hidden colors in the greys and snowy, but snowy over grey should all be greys...

Also, from a breeders POV, I'd never take anything from a pen with a different breed of male in it as pure... and I would wait a full month after removal before guaranteeing pure again... jmo...

They were originally my Grey and Snowy, actually. And, yes there is White in the bloodline. Together the Grey and Snowy have produced 5 pure bred white Calls.
