Khaki Campbell ducks are best known as one of the most prolific laying ducks in the world, often outperforming chickens in egg numbers. Campbells are active foragers, excellent at controlling insects, and hardy enough to adapt to a wide range of climates. Their calm, social temperament makes them a wonderful addition to both backyard flocks and small farms.
Breed Origin
The Khaki Campbell was developed in England in the late 1800s by Mrs. Adele Campbell, who crossed Indian Runners, Rouens, and Mallards to create a duck that excelled at both egg laying and hardiness. Their name comes from their khaki-colored plumage, which provides natural camouflage.
Temperament
These ducks are social and friendly, enjoying interactions with humans and other ducks. They love to forage and explore, and their gentle nature makes them great for families. These ducks are generally quiet and not prone to loud quacking, and less aggressive than some other breeds.
