What does the disposition rating of poor mean?
A poor disposition implies the birds are not a calm, friendly breed. They can be a bit flighty or aggressive.

Do you have a temperature recommendation chart for the ducklings? Before they are moved to their coop?
Once the ducklings have lost all of their soft downy feathers that they are hatched with, they can go to the coop without the need of additional heat source. This can take 4-6 weeks to lose their downy feathers.

At what age do Khaki Campbells start to lay?
Ducks are sexually mature at 20-24 weeks of age. If they have the correct feed and lighting, they will start laying then. Otherwise they will start as soon as the days begin to lengthen and it warms up in the spring.

Do I need to order in pairs or can I order 4 females and one male?
You may order baby ducklings in any quantity or sex.

My Khaki Campbell ducks are about 7 weeks old. How do I identify the drakes (male)?

How many eggs do they lay a year?
Khaki Campbell ducks average 165-210 eggs per year.

How long does it take for ducks to mature?
It takes ducks about 6-8 months to mature.

Can you ship ducklings and chicks together?
