new call duckling

Drop it down to about 90, Pauline-that would be a good temp.

thank you, I'v raised the tray, and taken it back from cooker, so that should bring it down = thanks for coming back to me.

You bet!
You have a Call duckling.
People with Calls are good people.

I couldn't upload a photo = but thats him on my profile pic. Wee cutie!!

Oh my...he's precious, Pauline.
You are obviously from...Scotland(sorry if that's wrong).
You have access to so many beautiful Call colors that we don't over here. I envy you.

your not far away - Northern Ireland, but my eggs came from England

 

[easttxchick]

Ah, Ireland, even more beautiful. I still have family in Ireland(Killarney, I believe).
I would love to see the progress of your birds as they grow.
We Call breeders here in the US would desperately LOVE to be able to import some of your birds over here.
Is your new little one a White?
I'm sorry for all of the questions, it's just a chance to speak to someone in the UK with Call ducks is a real treat for me, being the Call obsessed enthusiast that I am.

hi, yes he will be white, I am very new to it all, this is our first hatch, and only the one came out of 6, but they did come a good distance in post, so its hard to know. We recently got a lovely pair of white call from Scotland and hope they will breed over the summer, I will try to send you photos as I cannt upload. Killarney is v beautiful part of Ireland.

From the looks of your avatar, that is a nice quality little bird you have there.
You may not be able to upload yet because you are a new member. I think you have to have several posts before they let you upload pictures.
I raise White, Butterscotch, Self=Black, Pencil and Gray Calls.
That's great that you got one to hatch from a mailed batch!

I wish my gray Calls would start laying!! I bought a trio at a show in October...nada.

Not that I NEED to deal with ducklings right now, but still!
