Over 6-7 months old, good diet, and plenty of cleaning swimming water.

And don't forget to SEARCH for eggs--they hide them really well, if you have free range area at all....

Never mind, will just PM you.

Scott, what do you feed. We have tried different things that we have been told. What do you do?

Nothing fancy. I cant get waterfowl feed in my area, so I feed my calls layer crumbles and whole wheat oats (2/1 ratio). They get grass and greens from the garden during the warmer months.

Sounds pretty simple. I might have to add the oats. We do everything else. We will give it a try. We have them in raised pens like yours. We actually copied yours. LOL. Do you use any nest boxes attached to the inside or the outside of the housing area?

Glad to hear that... about the raised pens. And yes, I have nest boxes on the inside, though my call ducks only use them about half the time.

Scott can you post a picture of the inside of your call duck shelter?
