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

[Painted Calls]

Gah, that is one of the cutest little Calls I've ever seen. So stinking adorable and wide!

I like fat little ducks and I can not lie. You other lovers can't deny.

This one looks like it wants to be gray (Mallard), but its head is gray.

He’s almost exactly same coloring as gilligan

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.

Can't wait to hear from all the fellow Call peeps!

I'm so glad I can be of service in these trying times. I still can't believe they hatched so well considering their trip across the country, and that pic of the box on the lawn when they arrived. They're strong.

First time I posted it wasn't.
Had to use a diferen't format.
(I'm not good enough at computers to figure out what I did though.)
