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

[Miss Lydia]

Here's our trio, getting bigger by the day! The smallest one is more skidish than the rest, but we are working on that. I am just so in love with these cuties!

Gorgeous.

When do Khaki Campbell ducklings begin to show the signs that determine if they are ducks or drakes. I have 7 KCs that are almost 6 weeks old. None of them have darker heads, orange feet or curled tails, or black beans. They make a lot of chatter. Is is possible they could all be female? Are there any clues at 6 weeks that they are either drakes or ducks?

About 10-12 weeks.

Is Florida classed as tropical?

Perth has a Mediterranean climate similar to California, we get a couple of frosts a year but honestly i have more concern about heat stroke than hypothermia!

How old is your KC? We are picking up some girls this Sunday who are 3 months old which i guess will give them a month or two to settle in and then omelette time.

We do get a few frosts a year but that is usually more inland than the coasts. My girl is almost 11 months old now. Her eggs are huge and very delicious. I stick with chicken eggs for eating and the duck eggs I use for baking. Right now I am collecting all the eggs she lays and have been hatching out ducklings every week and selling them. The next several batches I am keeping for myself because I want to increase my flock.

I have 2 white 2yo Campbell girls who's sibling (that was lost to a fox) was a lovely khaki Campbell boy. Have got to say that I adore Campbell's and will always have Campbell's my girls are so friendly (but can be nervous with new people) and have suck wonderful characters. My kids and all their friends love playing with them.
