Khaki Campbells: The Best Layer Duck

The Khaki Campbell originated in England and Holland in the late 1800s, specifically bred for meat and egg production. Today, they remain a top choice for farmers and hobbyists looking to add a reliable egg layer to their flock.

True to their name, this breed has signature khaki-colored plumage, reminiscent of British Army uniforms. The "Campbell" in their name comes from Adele Campbell, who bred them specifically for egg production as well as meat.

This breed initially had a more buff appearance, which was refined via selective breeding over the years. In addition to the Khaki color, Campbells also come in a white and dark variety.

These ducks are highly productive layers, capable of outperforming some chicken breeds. Under optimal conditions, they can produce between 165 and 240 eggs per year. Despite their egg-laying prowess, they are not natural mothers and are unlikely to go broody.

In addition to their productivity, Khaki Campbells are hardy and adaptable. They are a valuable and attractive addition to any homestead.

This breed does not fly and they typically do not hatch or raise their own young.

Mature weight between 3.5 to 4.5 lbs.
