Duck paperwork is lighter than horse paperwork, but a Khaki Campbell still moves inside a web of records: veterinary files, flock and premises registrations, local keeping rules, and the laying history that makes this breed worth keeping. Khaki Campbells are prolific layers, so her records are as much about her eggs as about her — and a house move that scrambles those records makes the normal post-move laying dip impossible to read. Update the address everywhere she is named, in the order a vet or an official would look for it.
Veterinary records and finding a duck vet at the new address
Veterinary paperwork leads because poultry vets are not on every corner. Update your current practice with the new address, and if the move takes you out of their area, ask them to note her history ready for transfer: past egg-binding scares or laying problems, any lameness, respiratory episodes, and the flock treatments she has been part of. Then register with a practice near the new home that genuinely treats ducks and other waterfowl, and confirm it before an emergency — a Khaki Campbell with a prolapse or a stuck egg needs a vet who sees ducks routinely, not one working it out on the day. Record the new practice's number in the flock file along with the nearest after-hours option.
Local rules, premises, and flock registration
Permissions come second because duck-keeping is governed by address. Check the new property's local ordinances and any neighbourhood rules on poultry and waterfowl: some areas allow hens but restrict ducks, require minimum distances from boundaries for housing and ponds, or limit total bird numbers, and your paperwork should show the flock is kept lawfully at the new address. Update any premises identification, flock registration, or agricultural records tied to the old property, including records kept for disease-control purposes, so officials tracing a poultry health alert reach the garden your ducks actually swim in. If the old property was registered and the new one needs its own registration, keep both documents until the new one is confirmed.
Her laying record and health history, restarted at the new pond
The laying record is the Khaki Campbell paperwork that pays for itself. Start a fresh page for the new address noting the move date in your own records, her recent laying pattern before the move, feed type, and the setup she has moved into — pond access, house, run, and flock companions. Campbells commonly pause or scatter their laying after disruption; a written baseline from the old address lets you tell a normal settling dip from a genuine problem, and gives a new vet real numbers instead of impressions. Carry over her individual notes too: shell quality patterns, broodiness, past soft eggs, and which duck she is in a look-alike khaki flock — a leg band colour recorded in her file solves the identity question no photograph answers.
Deliveries, helpers, and one flock file
Finish with the working paperwork. Update feed and bedding delivery accounts with the new address and gate or access notes, and record who nearby can be called for duck help — the neighbour who has kept waterfowl, the sitter who knows the flock — with their numbers in the file. If eggs are sold or given away under any local arrangement that lists your address, update that too. Then keep the whole set together: vet details, permissions, registrations, her laying page, and helper contacts, with the old address retained on a cover note until each update is confirmed. Gathered into her KinsLe Pet Passport, a Khaki Campbell's records travel as one portable packet, so a vet visit, a flock sitter, or an official query all start from the new address and her full history.
