Duck Breed Focus - Call Ducks

[Julie Birb]

I never really had any desire to get ducks, I thought they were big, oafy, and messy. Last spring at a swap, one of my friends bought a white drake. After that, she found a white pair and knew that 2 boys and one gorl wouldn't work. She said I could have him if I wanted so I checked him out. He was sooo cute, I couldn't resist. I bought him, and swung by walmart after to buy him a kiddie pool.

I quickly fell in love, and immediately knew I NEEDED more call ducks. 7 ducks later, and I'm starting a new divided coop to separate and work on breeding different colors.

My favorite characteristics are their short little bills and chubby round cheeks.

Wow. Great story. Your pictures of the loves are great. I love those characteristics too. Very cute.

Can anyone show a comparison of their Call Duck eggs to a chicken egg? I'm curious about the size, color, etc.

I swear the little calls are amazing birds..... I failed my first try at hatching some..... But will try again soon.

I'm so glad I found this post! I'm planning on getting call ducks soon. Probably snowy, but I think the white ones are adorable too.

Does anyone have pictures of their call duck's eggs and more pictures of call ducks?

Also, any advice about how I should construct their house, pen, and pond would be appreciated. This is all brand new to me and I'm having trouble finding information specific to call ducks.
