I’m thinking about raising Call Ducks for a 4h breeding pen this year. What can you tell me about them?
How small are they?
What color varieties do they come in?
Do they make nice pets?
I hatched a duckling last spring, and he imprinted on me. Will they do that if I have more then one?
Are they hard to show and hard to keep clean? I’ve shown chickens the past two years.
Any excellent websites would be fantastic too!
Thanks!

They are 10 times as loud as regular ducks. Downright ear pierceing in fact. They are miniature ducks, so they aren’t very huge at all. Call duck eggs are EXTREMELY hard to hatch. They make as excellent a pet as most ducks do.
Can’t help with you with the showing part. I suggest joinging the backyardchickens forum. It is also for waterfowl owners and a lot of public on there own and show calls. You will get very usefull info, and learn a lot.
