Thanks! Have you ever had calls? I am so fond of them! They have darling personalities!

I've never even had ducks.

I've never even had ducks.

You are in for a surprise.
Say the word and I will put eggs in the mail.
I can't guarantee hatching though.
As you probably read I have had some trouble incubating and hatching the call eggs.
I am hoping this year might be better though because in the past I had new layers, and or possibly too much inbreeding.
Since then I have added new blood and my youngest gal should be at least a year old this spring. So

I will definitely take some once it warms up. Right now the plan is to convert my chicken space into dux space. Then buy a bator.

Any suggestions on those? Reading that Calls are harder to hatch made me nervous.

I'll definitely start a thread when I start my adventure. Sorry for hijacking, OP!

You’re in for a treat then! I love my ducks! They are the best! Funny enough I’ve never had chickens.

You’re definitely not hijacking! I’m glad you’re here! I love my calls and I bet you’ll love them too! They are my favorite out of all the breeds I’ve had.
I’ll be following your thread once you start your adventure!

I had (still have one) Bantam Cochins. They are the absolute best. I am getting out of chickens for a while though and was recommended Calls for their small size and personality. I was told that I'd love them as much as my BC's. I'm excited!
