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

[AntiqueB]

They're so adorable! And tiny! And adorable!

Now I want little ducks. . .

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 the get my human kid let's 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!

You have Conan's offspring?? My lone hatch from her got killed by a hawk and I'm still devastated. Do you sell eggs from them (in season?)
Love your birds. Following.

I'm so sorry! I do have her offspring. My OG girls came from her. She bullied me into it and I can't thank her enough.

Thank you for the compliments! Absolutely. PM me sometime. I'd be more than happy to send you some Conan grandbabies.
