The khaki-Campbell duck Thread !!!!!!!!

[KJ6485]

Let me clarify my hutch setup. It is an adapted rabbit hutch with the underneath wired with hardware cloth wire- no siding. Is that ok?

It will likely be fine, especially until winter comes, at that point if they seem uncomfortable with the weather you can re-evaluate

i have 5 kc's and 2 of them have the olive colored bills but they all have the dark black marking on the wings like a drake does 
what do you think

Post pics please

Thank you mzmolly65 for the info....was hoping they would, but have read a few threads where the rouen drake was rough with some khaki hens...so, before I built the quarters was wanting some experienced advice....Thanks again!!

I think it's more about the behaviour of that particular drake. Some drakes are mild mannered and some are not. I hope you have a couple of nice ones.

looking to see if anyone can help me identify my ducks they were supposed to be kc. I think that the lighter one is kc and the darker one is a rouen.

the 2 that i think are drakes are right across from each other and both have olive colored bills
the one in the back has a grey bill and so does the one with its head under the water and the one looking away

Those are khaki Campbell's (I'm not sure what the question was) I think, that they are all drakes because females don't have dark heads. I have a drake with a grey bill so, you might end up with all drakes.... But if they are still young there's a chance I'm wrong. The drakes all look like females before they get their grown up feathers so they are just molting.
