Khaki Campbell FEMALES

21 weeks on the 3rd OCTOBER

Khaki’s do not require water for swimming to stay healthy, but they enjoy it, they prefer shallow trays or even a washing up bowl with a brick in it.

They are excellent foragers, keeping gardens and ponds free of, slugs, snails and worms; bred as a back garden duck two females are very happy with chickens or on their own and will give a dozen eggs per week if fed well.

The best strains have been recorded to lay nearly 340 eggs a year although it is more common to expect around 200 eggs per year. They are reasonably quiet birds.
