Hi There
I wasn't aware untill a couple of days ago that you could get white Khaki as well as the darks, but hey? as my quote says it all. You can never say you know it all. My mum says you can learn something new every day of your life thinkerg.gif How true wave.gif
I finally got onto a couple of dark Khaki girls woohoo4 and I did get two Indian Runner girls one a lovely fawn/apricot? and white and a grey/blue and white so are they named a specific type.
Does not really phase me as we love the girls anyway they are so pretty.
Our boys are the lovely traditional Khaki's with the green head white ring around the neck and the chocolate colouring on the chest and we loooove them to bits.
They are the funniest of characters.
It was interesting to research the initial breeding of the Khaki Campbells and I have had this discussion with people over many years of showing horses.
A lot of breeds of livestock are a large percentage of crossbreeding.
Its a topic that could go on for hours and having shown and bred horses for years one that you need to handle with "Kid Gloves"
At the end of the day if you love your birdies and they are healthy and well, ENJOY [smilie=a_cookiemonster.gif]

Hi There K Campbells
Thanks for your response...
I had read the thread on the breeding of the Khaki Campbells and found it very interesting.....
That's where I was headed with the comment about "cross breeding" its all so interesting...
I think I am getting "hooked on duckies"
Noisy as some may say but "Hey? They are just great...

Hi there K Campbells
You hit the nail on the head with the duckies.
Hubby did not want ducks at all...
We picked up 4 youngsters on the way home from buying our Ford XB.
Sign on the side of the road "Ducklings for sale $10.00"
So surprisingly Wozza said "lets go have a look"
We picked out 4 but they didn't even have their first adult feathers.
So we ended up with 4 boys who have now coloured up into the most gorgeous Khaki's with the green heads etc..
No way on earth is Wozza parting with his boys.
He's a gonner....
So the ratio for ducks per drake should really be 3 to one I am told but we now have 7 girls, a nice mix of purebred Dark Khaki girls, a black and white Indian Runner, a cream/apricot and white Indian Runner and also grey/blue and white Indian runner.
As well as a couple of really cute Khaki/Saxony crosses.
"Bottoms Up" on our new dam...
The duckies and the chookies make for some major relaxation time....
Gotta go check my new hatch in the incubator.
Its like a popcorn machine at the moment... [smilie=a_rolling.gif]

If you find any true white campbells just make sure they really are campbells I have been burnt by a low life that told me he had them and after much fuss and travel they were nothing more than cross pekins so just watch out

Very hard to tell them apart its more about the breeding knowing their fowl and how it was bred. If you buying its a large part of trusting the breeder. The way I do it is by the head the campbells head is much more slender where as the pekin has a bigger more rounded head

Some info on white campbells http://www.poultrypages.com/campbell.html
