The Campbell is a breed of domesticated duck and come in three color varieties: dark, khaki and white. At the Cango Wildlife Ranch you will find four white Campbell ducks and twelve bright yellow ducklings born recently.

The Campbell duck has a very well recorded history. This breed was developed in England by Adele Campbell at the end of the 19th century who wanted to develop a breed for laying white table eggs that was not broody, reluctant to fly away and acted more like fowl. Today these ducks are mainly kept for their beauty and their egg production which is said to be able to exceed even the most efficient domestic chicken.

Campbells are profilic egglayers and most females will lay their first eggs when only 5 – 7 months old and will lay an average of 300 eggs per year. These ducks are known to be energetic and active foragers that will keep snails and bugs out of your garden and adapts to their surroundings and climate very well.

The amount of time a person can spend watching these ducks and their bright yellow offspring paddling around in the water must be another of their good qualities as we have noticed visitors spending up to a half an hour just watching and smiling at these pretty birds.

At the Cango Wildlife Ranch you will not find duck eggs on our restaurant menu but you will find a multitude of yellow ducklings to amuse you for hours on end.
