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.

Khaki Campbell Duck FAQs

Their eggs are typically white to cream-colored. Compared to chicken eggs, they’re richer, with a larger yolk-to-white ratio, which makes them great for baking and cooking.

We ship our Khaki Campbell ducklings as day‑old birds. This helps them travel safely, and it also gives you a great start for bonding and raising them.

They don’t need a full pond, but they do need regular access to clean water deep enough to dunk their heads. A stock tank, kiddie pool, or similar setup works well as long as the water is refreshed often.

Ducklings thrive on a balanced starter feed formulated specifically for waterfowl. Ensure they have constant access to fresh water.

They can be chatty, especially the females, but they’re generally quieter than some heavier duck breeds. If you have close neighbors, they’re often a better choice than very vocal breeds.

They are quite hardy once fully feathered. With a dry, draft‑free shelter and access to unfrozen water, they do well in colder climates. Extra bedding and wind protection help them stay comfortable in winter.
