A Utility strain of this domesticated duck, bred for its high level of egg production. The breed was originally developed in England at the end of the 19th century. They have Mallard, Rouen and Runner duck blood in them.
If kept in ideal conditions, they can lay up to 300 large, white eggs a year, which are very rich in taste.
Good natured and very friendly. They are excellent foragers, keeping gardens and ponds free of, slugs, snails and worms. They also rarely go broody, and are reluctant flyers, so wing- clipping is generally considered unnecessary.
These Ducks do need access to clean water in which to paddle and bathe, though they can be kept with a limited water source as they are more of a splasher than a swimmer.
What We Think
Khaki Campbells are one of our favorate and most popular ducks at the Poultry Centre. They are very easy to keep as they are not too excitable and take well to human interaction; they are a great bird to have around children. There is no need to worry about them flying off as they can't quite carry their large bodies. A really lovely duck at a great price.
No Reviews for this product but we have a review for other products from this manufacturer
Sadly I had spent a considerable amount of time and money on several other products trying to eradicate red mites..I could not get rid of them and then I saw DIATOM.The web site is a doddle to use, the delivery prompt and free and the product is so easy to use especially as you dont have to worry about it going into their food stuff..it is actually benficial to them. As for the red mites..it appears at this stage to have stopped them in their tracks. The only critism I have is that the plastic container is so strong I had to get my partner to open it and even he struggled. I have since given up trying to get the lid off again and pierced the lid to access the powder. Apart from that , the product is fantastic..Well done. I WILL NOT BE BUYING ANY OTHER PRODUCTS AS I CONSIDER THEM TO BE TOTALLY INEFFECTIVE IN COMPARISON TO DIATOM and will put in for another 2 kg tub shortly.
I had a problem with red mite in my chicken house. This cleared it up straight away I tried to use other treatments but nothing has been so effective as this. Fantastic product, it solved all my problems
