How Do You Successfully Hatch Call Ducks?
Call ducks are a bantam species of waterfowl commonly kept as pets. Named for their distinctively loud noises, Call ducks are popular due to their small size and amicable dispositions. Call ducks are easy to care for and can be kept in the same type of enclosures as their larger counterparts, although they do need smaller gauge fencing to keep them from escaping. Hatching Call duck eggs is not a difficult process and a flock of peeping, healthy ducklings is worth the effort. Purchase fertilized duck eggs from a local breeder or hatchery. Call ducks are fairly common and affordable, although you may have to place an order in late winter for an early spring pickup. Purchase at least 15 to 20 eggs, as some will not hatch and you may lose some ducks soon after hatching due to deformities or illnesses. Place the eggs under brooding hens or ducks if you have birds that are already nesting. Brooding birds will keep your new Call duck eggs warm and turn then frequently until the eggs hatch in
