Khaki Campbell Ducks
The
Khaki Campbell Duck is a hard and vigorous foraging breed that is most well known and popular for it's prolific egg laying capabilities.
Khaki Campbells are an active medium sized breed of duck that is perfect if you have plenty of space for free ranging and foraging. They may not make the best pets due to their flighty and active disposition, but they will produce impressive numbers of
fresh duck eggs for human consumption for you and your family.
Khaki Campbell females are quite popular, outselling males by a large margin. Please note that if you purchase
straight run birds, we will send you truly straight run birds. We will not first pick out all of the females for other orders. This courtesy makes us an extremely popular and cost effective resource to obtain these birds for egg production.
Khaki Campbell hens are capable of producing eggs most of the year, as long as the basic conditions of their environment are right. The egg production of the
Khaki Campbell can even exceed that of domestic chickens. On average, the birds is capable of laying 300 eggs per year. If you are looking for a duck breed that is more personable with a calmer disposition that may be better for families with smaller children, you should consider the
Golden 300 Hybrid. The Golden 300 Hybrid will not be as active of a forager, but his breed will match or surpass the egg laying abilities of the
Khaki Campbell.
Khaki Campbell ducks are very active with their streamlined build. They have a sturdy and upright posture, as part of their breeding origin is from the
Indian Runner Duck. Other than a few
hybrid duck breeds like the
Golden 300 Hybrid and the
White Golden Layer, the
Khaki Campbell Duck is the best
pure bred egg laying duck that we sell.
Khaki Campbell ducklings were bred to be the ultimate egg layers by just 5-7 months old. This comes from their sturdy build combined with their
Indian Runner Duck lineage.
Khaki Campbell ducks are extremely adaptable to their environments, thriving in arid deserts, wet tropical rain forests, and freezing cold tundras. Here's a short clip of our
