Description
The Khaki Campbell is one of the more famous and popular duck breeds due to its excellent egg production. Introduced in 1901 by Mrs. Adele Campbell of Gloucestershire, England, she never revealed the exact genetic makeup but experimented with Runners crossed with Rouen and Mallards. The advantage over the pure Runner was a more useful carcass for meat and improved egg production. Though they have been turned into an exhibition type breed, she was adamant that her birds were designed for production, not the exhibition hall. Khaki Campbells are a very hardy breed that tends to be nervous, energetic and are great foragers that do tend to be broody and make great mothers.
