In our Call Duck Variety you get a assortment of Call Duck colors. If you are open to receiving a mixture of our 7 colors of Call Ducks, this might be a good cost saving option for you. Normally we are able to include at least two colors in the assortment but sometimes it may only be one color if that is all we have available.
Call Duck colors include: Black, Blue, Gray, Pastel, Pencil, Snowy, and White.
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. 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.
Upon arrival, check the packing slip in the lid of your box for information about the breeds included in your assortment.

Call Duck Colors
Black Call Ducks have glossy black plumage and typically feature black legs and a black bill creating a striking and uniformly black appearance. Some black ducklings may have minimal variations, but the primary coloration is solid black sometimes with a white bib.
Blue Call Ducks typically have a soft, slate-blue plumage with a slightly lighter shade on their heads and neck. This subtle bluish-gray hue creates an overall elegant and attractive appearance.
Gray Call Ducks have the same color scheme as Mallards. Males have a glossy green head and a white neck ring while females have a mostly brown coloration to their feathers.
Pastel Call Ducks have soft and muted feathering consisting of a blend of light gray, soft brown, and pale blue hues throughout their plumage. This creates a nice, delicate appearance which distinguishes them from the other more vividly colored varieties of Call Ducks.
Snowy Call Ducks are different in color depending on gender. Males have a glossy green head, white neck stripe, and brown/gray plumage. Females have a lighter brown head with a light colored body and brown, black, beige and green on their wings.
Penciled Call Ducks have intricate and fine penciling patterns on their feathers resembling delicate lacework. Their plumage is typically a light color, such as creamy white or pale gray, with darker pencil-like markings making them appear elegant and detailed.
White Call Ducks have pure white plumage creating a pristine and immaculate appearance. They are characterized by completely white feathers, a yellow bill, and yellow feet, giving them a striking and elegant presence.

Customer Reviews of Assorted Call Ducks
4.9Liliana L. | Sooo cute!
They all arrived alive and very noisy! they are so cute!!! This is my first time ordering ducklings! I hope to see them grow big and cute!
Susan S. | Assorted call ducks
I ordered two of the assorted and got blue ducklings. They are so cute and healthy!
Jillian C. | Lots of duck in a tiny package
We love Call Ducks, from their epic personalities, to their friendly nature these tiny guys are three times the duck in a fraction of the package. Each one we have raised has been different than the next. They boss our big ducks around and are fearless once grown It's always a joy to watch them go from timid duckling to complete rulers of all they see. Great moms, who won't let anyone mess with their babies. Can't wait for our little ones to get big enough to join our Call Duck flock.
Andrea R. | They are so Cute!!
They all came healthy and happy! The people at the post office were super confused. Haha. I think I have 4 greys, two black, and two blue! I ordered 6 but they sent me 8!
Jennifer L. | Ordered 7
Ordered 7, received a very tiny 8th. Don't know if it was a freebie or if someone just wanted her to have a chance. I did lose the tiny one and 2 others over the first 2 months, but the other 5 are doing great. My one confirmed (hoping I have 3 total though) girl is so silly sounding. Like a goose filled with helium
SOMALAY B. | So cute!!
Don't hesitate to order! They are so adorable. Metzer go above and beyond to make it right when something doesn't go as planned. I'm so glad I got these cuties. I ordered the assorted package
J K. | Finally here!
These little ones had to be rescheduled several times due to lower than expected hatch rates. We waited it out, and they arrived this morning. I would tell everyone not to rely on the usps tracking info. That was useless, but they arrived in 2 days as we were told by Metzer. All 3 are healthy and active. We have a black bibbed cutie that has the most wonderful markings. They are ornamental- and loud (I have older call ducks too), but they are a joy to engage with.
Shayna B. | Assorted Call Ducks
Ducks arrived playful and full of energy! Went straight to water & food plus ran around a bunch! Super happy with my order. Only downside was that I was supposed to receive at least 2 colors and got only white ducks.
Melinda M. | Best place to buy chickens and ducks
Metzerfarms this is the best place to buy ducks chickens any animal they stand behind their stuff. I would recommend to buy from these people
Rachel M. | Pastels
I ordered the assorted calls as a last minute addition to come with my 2 Australian Spotteds. I couldn't decide which color I wanted, so I thought assorted would be a good way to go. Based on the sheet that came with, both little besties are pastel colored which I'm more than happy with. These 2 are SPICY. Little popcorn hoppers and they zoom right around like Speedy Gonzales. They arrived 2 days after shipping happy and healthy, and now I'm planning to order more pastels (specifically female next go round) because I've fallen right in love with them. 10/10 to Metzer Farms.
Anouschka R. | The cutest!
We have two adult call ducks and they are simply the cutest so we really wanted to add a few more to the flock. After attempting to hatch eggs, which is not the easiest, we ordered a few ducklings from Metzer. The whole process was great. Communication is top notch and we had our ducklings within 24 hours from CA to AZ. Would absolutely order from Metzer again!
