Campbell

The Campbell duck, often referred to as the Khaki Campbell, is a hardy and prolific duck breed renowned for its exceptional egg-laying capabilities. Developed in England in the late 19th century by Mrs. Adele Campbell through selective breeding of Indian Runner and Rouen ducks, this breed combines traits ideal for small-scale farming or backyard enthusiasts. Characterized by their sleek, khaki-colored plumage, Campbell ducks possess a streamlined body that enables them to be agile swimmers and foragers.

Aside from their practical attributes, these ducks exhibit a friendly and docile temperament, making them excellent companions in mixed flocks. However, they are typically more active than some duck breeds, and their sociable nature thrives best in groups. Above all, the hallmark of the Campbell breed is its remarkable egg production, with a single duck capable of laying upwards of 280 to 320 eggs per year. This extraordinary laying ability, along with their adaptability to different climates and resilience to common duck illnesses, secures the Campbell duck as a stalwart choice for both hobbyists and experienced poultry keepers alike.
