Khaki Campbell ducks are a British breed, developed in the early 1900s, known for their khaki-brown plumage and upright, slender build. Females are especially valued for their exceptional egg-laying abilities and gentle temperament.

Egg Production

Female Khaki Campbell ducks are big egg-layers, averaging 250-300 eggs a year, even more than most chickens. Their eggs are white or cream colored and larger than chicken eggs. They can maintain high production for up to three years before gradually declining. Khaki Campbell eggs have a rich flavor, making them a popular choice for baking and cooking.

Female Khaki Campbell Duck FAQs

Female Khaki Campbells are known for being exceptional egg layers, hardy in a range of climates, and very active foragers. They’re one of the top choices for people who want lots of duck eggs from a relatively small, manageable bird.

They’re generally gentle but high-energy and a bit skittish. With consistent handling from a young age, they can become fairly tame, but they’re usually not as cuddly as some heavier, more docile breeds.

They’re a medium-sized duck. Adult females usually weigh around 3.5–4.5 pounds, with a slender, upright build rather than a chunky, rounded body.

They’re a great fit for backyard keepers, homesteaders, and small farms who want a reliable source of duck eggs, are okay with active and somewhat chatty birds, and appreciate ducks that earn their keep by foraging and pest control.

They’re technically dual-purpose, but they’re better for eggs than meat. Their bodies are lighter and more streamlined than typical meat ducks (like Pekins), so if your primary goal is meat production, other breeds are usually preferred.
