Mare's Illegal Cute-ness (Call Duck) Chat Thread!!

[Canadian Wind]

I do wish males had more differences between the colors. I'm just not a fan of the typical mallard color

Same. Now, if there were more varieties of the Magpie pattern, I would certainly go for that!

Also, when did you change the name of the thread, @Overo Mare ?? LOL!

Maybe some of the self Blacks or chocolate... and the the Whites. Not a giant fan of white birds, but I've gotta have white calls if I have any calls

Just a few minutes ago LOL.

Check into Ancona Calls. They're not recognized, but I feel you'd like them.

I do not like white birds at all. I love @ColtHandorf's white English Orps, and white Calls. That's it.

I'm on the ball today, lol!

OH! That would be nice! I don't care if they're recognized or not, I just prefer the non-mallard look. Mallards just seem so... common, lol!

And I never thought I'd like white Calls because it's such a plain color, but my goodness was I wrong. I LOVE them.

No, no you don't!

 

[Painted Calls]

No, no you don't!

Omg that was supposed to say WHITE.

It's way past time I started my own thread. Please feel free to share your own Call ducks and chat! Calls from your past, present, and future are all welcome!

My OG girls (thanks @Conan for starting this obsession!) are the 4 in front and the 4 most close to the camera. They will be 2 years old April and May 2023. From left to right: Butter, Puddle, Lidus, Raspberry (in back), Roxy, and my drake Puddin' in the rear.

The newest pair arrived this October from Montana. They are approximately 7 months old. Their names are Raspberry and Puddin'.

I will be working on breeding the newest pair this coming spring, and potentially exploring one of my OG girl's genetics. She has a nice enough shape and bill that I don't think it would take much for her to produce SQ babies.

Here are the stats on the group as of today.

Hoping to get my human kidlets started on showing this summer. Please feel free to share any and all show tips! Would also love to hear about Call color genetics. I'm trying to learn as I go here. I've already picked a breeding partner and we are super excited to get started this spring.
