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

I like that waterer, another useful one is to cut a circle out of a 1 gallon milk jug so they can stick there head through and drink. My litter has been much drier now and no more swimming.

Then it is more than likely the current color of the little one's bean. Can you post a close-up photo?

These are the best pictures I could get. I tried taking them individually, but they were not going to have any of that. You got to admit. They are cute little fluffs.

Cuties! I particularly like the pics where they are huddled together. It appears that is just the current color of your little one's bean (that little bump on the end of its bill). It may change as they grow. As they reach maturity the females bills will generally be a slate gray, though one of mine has an olive colored bill (Hence the name, Olive), and the males will be greenish to yellowish. Usually the beans will be darker on both but not necessarily.

Okay guys here are my 2 and a half week old ducklings. Any opinions on breed or sex. I'm sure it's too early to tell, I'm just curious.

OMG they are so cute. Just bought two ducklings a couple nights ago. Now trying to find a couple more to add to our girls. They seem lonely and not super friendly. I have been trying to hold them to help with their nerves.

Mine don't really like being held, but I do it to try and get them used to me. I finally got my 5 week old chicks to accept me picking them up and messing with them, so I have hope with the ducklings. My Disney Ducklings, Daisy, Nemo, and Ducky just started being okay with me holding them. They still don't like it, but they will tolerate it.

CUTE! I'm new to the game, so I can't help you, but good luck.

You should have seen me when I first read this. I said, "What in the world is a bean?" so I was googling like crazy and came up with duck beanies, plush ducks, Beanie Babies, Duck with Bean recipes. HAHA! I'm so glad you told me what it was.

Sorry I led you on a "wild duck bean chase" !!

Mine don't mind as long as I'm cuddling them and holding them against my chest I think it's a feeling of being protective

I just found out last night from where we purchased our ducks that they are in fact Khaki Campbells. They are about 7 weeks old as of now but they are so timid and every time I stick my hand in to either add feed or change out their water they do everything they can to run from me. Any suggestions on how to get them to warm up to us any? The photo posted is when they were 4 weeks old.

We have a couple females also and they are the same exact way I don't try and hold them often because it really stresses them out so I just kinda let them be im thinking maybe once they get a bit older and I can try and hold them more and get them to warm up a bit. Goodluck with yours let me know if you figure out any kind of tips.. I was thinking of maybe figuring out a nice treat for them so maybe they'll like us more with treats
