I have a very small backyard flock of calls as pets. Someone had commented on a pic I had on FB and referred to this little girl as a butterscotch. Does she look like she could have some butterscotch?We've had butterscotch for many years. Here is a pic of a few of them from about 20 years ago. Sorry the picture quality isn't that good but that was back when we had a cheap camera and film that had to go to developer.The pics do not do the birds justice. Digital cameras are so much better for taking pics of animals. One instantly know if the pics are any good But this summer we did purchase a flock from one of the top breeders of butterscotch. All our birds were purchased as juvies-adults, as most show breeders do not sell eggs nor hatchlings. Good quality call ducks can be challenging and expensive to hatch, even under ideal circumstances. Add in shipping/handling, x-rays, temperature variations, and etc, sometimes I'm amazed that hatching eggs ever hatch. Thank you for appreciating our beloved birds. They are great hobby for kids and relaxing from our stressful careers. PINOAK RIDGE Call ducks in: Apricot Silver, Aztec Blue, Black, Blue, Blue Fawn, Buff, Butterscotch, Chocolate, Grey, Khaki, Pastel, Snowy, Silver & White. Black East Indies, Miniature Silver Appleyards, Mallards and Silver Mallards. Silkies: Black, Blue, Buff, Grey, Partridge & White Bantam Cochins & Frizzles: Black, Blue, Silver, Mottled-Black & Blue, Millie Fluer (Calico) and White.

it was ok, i was home luckily, none of them zipped on their own but i dont know if i interceded too soon , but i got 5 out of 6, 1 dis -pretty awesome for a first timer and shipped eggs
5 and 4 daysThat is great! As long as they all came out healthy with the yolk absorbed (mostly absorbed, I've learned) and no major bleeding then it wasn't to soon! How old are they today?
5 and 4 days

i really hope so!!!!I wish I would have handled mine more when they were babies. They were right in the living room with us but it was spring and that's a busy time of year around here! Not that it matters much since they are soooo imprinted on us. They always walk through the house if I leave the door open otherwise they wait and call for me at the backdoor. It's amazing how much they imprint! You'll see!!
