We were pleased with the ducklings that hatched this year. My daughter showed them recently and they placed very well, topping their pullet and cockerel classes. The judge did tell my daughter that they had very good coloring so I guess that includes eye stripes in the females. They have matured since the pictures and I think they look a little "crisper". I am by far, no expert in Calls!

The hens layed eggs like crazy in September and October but have been done for a few weeks. I would have been glad to send some. We did not hatch any fall ducklings.

Here are a couple pics from the summer.

Your calls are gorgeous, wish they were laying my poor little man keeps trying to breed with the cayguga hen I have, it's like watching chutes and ladders, the poor little guy just slides off!!​

Very cute! Did their eye stripes stay that prominent as they matured in any that are females?

I know I would really love to. I just wish we had the time I really wonder how some of mine would place. How did your birds do?

LOL-oh you need just to drive down to Ducklucks house in the spring, I would ship you one but I dont think one little guy would make it plus I cant sex them til about 2 weeks but mine are always in my house for the first few months full time and then half out half in. I just candled my eggs and I have 10 that I can see developing well at 7 days

but I cant count my ducks before they hatch. Oh and yes they would breed your runner-my smallest call drake keeps trying to breed my big British Shorthair male cat-glad poor Salem is so tolerant to everything lol. My female Khaki campbell keeps flirting with the call drakes and trys to get down low enough to assist them lol-lucky she isnt laying yet lol

Spring waiting list is open!

I can sell one but I usually recommend people buy at least two so they have a same-age buddy to grow with. Don't know what we'll have because it's up to the ducks, but I'm betting they're already making plans for spring! The males in particular are antsy this weekend...

We did ok. We are down to Butterscotch, Grays, Whites, and Magpies. We had the only magpies in Jrs and Open so we won BB.... LOL They are my 13 year old sons. Couple of pullets he raised this year.

We got BV in Butterscotch, Grays we got 1st in Cocks, and whites we got 2nd with a white pullet and 2nd with a white cock. Not too bad.
