Title: Khaki Campbell Ducks
Post by: Gill Parks on March 05, 2005, 10:28:01

I live near Wallingford, Oxfordshire and am looking for 4-6 Khaki Campbell or Khaki Campbell Cross female ducks.
I have a duck house and a small pond - so need some ducks to make it complete.
Does anyone know where I can buy some. Ideally at point of lay.
Thanks

Hi Gill

Good choice. I've got white campbells they are excellent layers.
Bred originally by Mrs Campbell, who also bred a particular strain of silkies which exists to this day. ;D ;D

Sorry, but not sure of suppliers in your area, try your local yellow paper

You may be interested to know that Piggotts Poultry Breeders in Eaton Bray (Bedfordshire) can supply the Chiltern White , a white commercial egg laying duck which will produce 350 eggs in its first season. 01525 220944

I have now found myself the proudÂ ;D owner of 4 ducks and 2 drakes - all Khaki Campbells or crosses.

Thanks

Good on you Gill!

I used to own a mallard years ago and got a lot of fun from her. I still miss her now as she was more a pet :'(

we used to have 3 khakis..don't want to be a wet blanket but having 3 ducks was the quickest way i found of turning our garden into the somme.
they were lovely tho-and excellent layers...we also kept bantams-much better for us and great characters ..
