I'm just looking for a friend for my peacock so he will stop trying to mate with my ducks! I don't care about color. Just a healthy peahen resonably priced. Thanks.

Hi, I have a couple questions I'd like help with. I've got a single male peacock about 18 mos old. We bought 5 chicks (what are they called again?) last spring and unfortunately, 4 died, leaving us only one. (We did our best, took very good care of them. Have no idea what happened.)...

Don't feel guilty. This is just real life. You don't have to like it. You don't have to watch it. But your guilt is false guilt. There is absolutely nothing wrong with butchering your ducks for meat. Duck breast is delicious! We like ours with bacon. I think it is being a good citizen of...

I've got two green headed Australian Spotted Drakes for sale. $30 each. We ordered them this spring from Holderread's and paid $12 per duckling + shipping for the "Top Show Quality" birds. As is usual, we just ended up with more drakes then we needed. They are healthy and ready for a new...

My Chinese Mandarin ducklings! This is the first year we have EVER not been able to sell our Mandarins. Are more people breeding them? Is it the economy? I know they will eventually sell, but until this year, I've had a waiting list and sold them emediately. Weird and frustrating.

Our Ancona ducks, from Holderread, are excellent layers, excellent setters and great foragers. They do need to be wormed and delouced before setting season like any duck. They are beautiful and fun ducks to have.

We love our Anconas from Holderread's. They are reasonably calm but not lap ducks or anything. They wander the barn yard during the day and often take naps in the barn. If we walk by they will just calmly walk the other way. They come running when I have a bucket in my hand at feeding time...

Our ducks free range during the day for forage. So, I feed them in the evening when I call them to thier pen. I let them eat all they could possibly want till I'm done with my farm chores. (about an hour) Then I take the feed away. By morning, they are hungry and ready to fill up on bugs...

Quote: Thank you so much for this info and page. I do think this is what's wrong with my pea. Very helpful!

I have a peacock with an infection or absess on it's face. What kind of antibiotics can I try and at what dosage? Thanks!

From what I understand from Story's Guide to Raising Ducks, it is the shortened day and NOT the temperature, that reduces some ducks egg laying frequency. Put out a light bulb and they will lay.
