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

[Amiga]

Hi all, I was thinking of getting some khaki Campbell's in the spring, but I know nothing about them, can some of you help me out? Are they a good breed? Friendly? (I don't want them for meat, just pets)

I have a Khaki mix - and I am in love! Great duck!

I will although it is winter here (45-65 degrees F, 5-18 degrees C and raining). I hope that will do it -she is a really sweet duck!

Sounds nice and mild - here it's starting to freeze at night....but days are still fairly mild...

I am glad I live in the south then. It is supposed to be in the 20s on Thursday, which makes me worry more about my injured girl. She is about the same today -fine in the water but can't stand when out. She crawls on her elbows to get around. I think my young drake caused the injury because I saw him "practicing" on my other young girl, out of the water, today. The injured duck has always been his favorite. The three are only 15 weeks old. She will recover, won't she? This is her in the pool today.

My Khaki Campbells are a little more wary than my pekins were, but, boy, they're outlaying all my chickens now, even the production birds. So if you want duck eggs, I would highly recommend them.

Do u have the injured girl seperate from the male's because they will still practice on her and prolong the injury I have 2 khaki males and the r absoo sweetheart

She needs as much rest as possible, and needs to be away from him. Some extra vitamins in her water, just TLC. Ducks can recover from many serious injuries, but they need some help.

Yep, mine have no light on them and they still give me lots of eggs, 4 a day from 4 ducks! By comparison, 15 chickens, 6 eggs

Slackers...
They are awesome ducks

We consistently get a bunch of eggs from the Khakis... Chickens... not so much

Last night my injured girl could barely crawl. This morning she was back to her old self walking around. She is moving even better this afternoon but I will continue to keep her away from the boys for a while. Thanks for the help and advice.
