Sorry Linda but the devil made me do it. I outbid you and that is so not my character but I seen you didn't like the crested ones so I thought I'd save you the heartache of hatching any crested ones out (that's my rationale anyway) and my kids would think they were cute.

I KNEW IT! Sonja's gettin' Call ducks!
I'm so excited for you. You'll LOVE them!

I'm excited. Now I am trying to read about how difficult it will be to take care of them vs. my big ducks. Any tips?

 

[easttxchick]

No, they're about the same, just require less space, less food and less swimming area.
One thing I do worry about with Calls, though is the tiny bill lends itself to sinus infections more(just make sure they have clean, fresh water to wash out nares-which I'm sure you knew that) and those little short legs and fat bodies can equal leg injuries more so than with bigger ducks.
Pretty much the same care, otherwise.
Oh, I'm sure you know this, but they can be a little(well, a lot) LOUD! Mostly only when they get excited or want something though.
When you go out to visit them, the minute they see you, they start announcing your arrival.

They can't be much noisier than my guineas or my parrots (inside birds).

 

[easttxchick]

Oh no, if you have guineas, these won't be anything for you then.

Yay! I can't wait for pictures of ducklings!!!

Dh is gonna kill me after the damage I did the other day with all the new coops lol. Oh well, you only live once, right?

 

[easttxchick]

That's right! And having Calls makes life a little(well, a lot) more fun.

I hope she ships them tomorrow. I already paid her. Then they could be in the bator at the end of this week. If I keep buying all these eggs, I'm gonna have to get another bator.

Any luck?
