Silver Call Ducks

We have had a funny breeding season with them this year. The first eggs went into the incubator but unfortunately very few hatched, and those which did were nearly all drakes. We had a good hatch in mid June, with more ducks than drakes so the balance is now fairly even. In the middle of August we were very surprised to see our oldest silver duck, flying down into the Apricot Calls' pen, marching into their hut and promptly laying an egg. She laid nine in total and hatched all of them so we now have plenty of late ducklings!
