Berigora Farm Khaki Campbell Ducks
About the Khaki Campbell breed
The Khaki Campbell breed was developed by Mrs Adele Campbell of England early last century as a dual purpose (egg and meat) breed. In developing the Khaki Campbell, Mrs Campbell used the Rouen (a heavy meat breed) for substance; the Indian Runner for egg production; and the Mallard for foraging ability.
The result was a medium size bird that excelled in egg production and foraging ability.
production (for all breeds of poultry including chooks). The eggs have pearly white shells and are of superb flavour for eating (any-one who tells you they don’t like the flavour of duck eggs has obviously never tasted a Khaki Campbell duck egg!).
Khaki Campbells usually have a quiet and friendly nature and make excellent pets. A pair of Khaki Campbells in the backyard will keep the area free of snails and other insect pests. They can also play a vital role in pest and weed control on organic farms (but you will need to keep them away from valuable edible plants – I once came home to find nothing left of my silver beet plants but a row of white stalks!)
My ducks
Ducks are in my blood. I grew up on a small market garden and poultry farm where my father kept a number of poultry breeds (chooks, ducks and geese) but my favourites (obviously!) are the Khaki Campbells. One of my treasured possessions is my grand- father’s medallion won by one of his ducks at Sydney Royal Show.
While I have kept Khaki Campbells for many years, a few years ago I purchased 2 breed- ing pairs from Ted Carter in Adelaide. Ted’s beautiful ducks have won Champion water- fowl awards at every Royal Show in Australia. One of the pairs I purchased from him had placed at Melbourne Royal Show. These ducks form the foundation of my present duck flock.
