I’m so excited for you as well! I hope you have a great hatch!Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. I agree about them being gorgeous! I didn't even know about these beauties until recently. I figured they'd make wonderful flockmates with Calls since they're just a tiny bit larger. I was told yesterday that I should treat this hatch like a Call hatch and anticipate the need to assist. Apparently at this point they still have a lot of Call qualities(obviously I'm good with that) They've already decided they're going to hatch on a Call duck time-line. The eggs were about the same size as @WVduckchick call eggs. A lot of the pictures I see show them with the short call bill
Of course I'll be separating them and only using the ducks that represent well in the event of planned reproduction. Otherwise I'm hoping for one big happy flock of gorgeous Calls and Aztec's. Any possibility of seasonal separation won't be anytime in the near future after I get them all integrated. I've still got to get these out of their shell, so I'm getting way ahead of myself here in my rambling. I am so excited!
I know that you @FunnyfarmMidwest have a crested duck. Is it a Crested Pekin? After looking at the Call Duck Color charts you so kindly shared with me, I noticed some crested ducks in the pictures. So there is a such thing as a "Crested Call Duck"? Oh my gosh! Does anyone here have any?
Yes, I do have a crested duck. He was a rescue so I’m not exactly sure on the breed. I think he might be a crested Rouen. I’m also not sure on his age. He’s missing half of his wing. His name is Pom Pom. Yes there is such a thing as a crested call duck. I don’t have any but I really hope to get a few someday.
