Khaki Campbell ducks are a British breed developed in the early 20th century, easily recognized by their sleek, khaki-brown plumage and upright, athletic build. They are celebrated for their exceptional egg production, and are excellent foragers, making them ideal for pest control in gardens and pastures. Their calm, social temperament makes them a wonderful addition to both backyard flocks and small farms.

Meat Production

Khaki Campbell ducks can be used for meat, though they are best known for their prolific egg-laying. Their meat is lean and mild in flavor, making it suitable for a variety of dishes, but it is less fatty and yields a smaller carcass compared to heavier meat breeds like Pekin or Muscovy. Male Khaki Campbell ducks typically weigh around 4–5 pounds, and females about 3.5–4 pounds, providing a moderate amount of meat for small-scale or homestead use.

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.
