Are you looking for a new addition to your flock? Call Ducks might be the answer for you. At Metzer Farms, we offer healthy Call Ducklings for sale. This duck breed is perfect for anyone seeking the joy of pet duck ownership. We have seven different colors of Call Ducklings that you can choose from: Black, Blue, Gray, Pastel, Penciled, Snowy and White.
Call Ducks are perfect for the hobbyist that wants beautiful and charming ducks but has little space.
The exact origins of Call Ducks is debatable, but it is believed they were developed in the Netherlands in the 17th or 18th century. They were initially bred to lure or “call” wild ducks into traps or nets. The small size and loud quacking of Call Ducks made them effective decoys. Hunters used them to attract wild ducks closer, making it easier to catch wild waterfowl for food and sport.
Please note, Call Ducks can fly very well and because of this, we do not insure this breed. Historically Call Ducks have been bred with short, wide heads (brachycephalic) and short bills. Here at Metzer Farms, we are not going to stray from the APA guidelines, but we aim to breed a naturally shaped duck - just much smaller. We feel this will allow them to be more productive in terms of fertility, longevity and hatchability.

February 16, 2024 | Call Ducks - A Must Have!
We are long time keepers of Welsh Harlequin ducks and added Metzer Farms White Calls this year. We're so glad we did. These compact cuties are not just pleasant to look at, they have bold (but not mean), intelligent personalities. If you're wondering about adding this spunky little duck breed, stop wondering and go for it! Thank you Metzer for our feisty, fearless little Calls and your excellent customer service.

April 11, 2024 | Exactly what I had hoped for and more
I had purchased some calls duck eggs from a local breeder and hatched only one of the 12. I had to get him a friend and chose Metzer farms and got some mallard ducks. I have fallen in love with both breeds and just recieved today 6 more call ducklings from Metzer farms. They arrived in mint condition all alive and energized. I only ordered 6, they sent me 8!! Thank you so much!
