Thanks everyone! I lowered their pool water depth. They seemed to have settled quite a bit as of late other than….. my Pekin basically tells me, & his fellow drakes, that he will murder us in our sleep if we even THINK about touching her 😂😂😂😂😂🤦🏼‍♀️🥰 ( she definitely has picked him too though...

3 of each. Was 4 hens, 3 drakes but, of course, once I accomplished that ratio, one of the 4 hens went missing 😞

Need advice… My jumbo Pekin drake & my welsh Harley hen want to mate BUT…. It looks like he’s going to drown her bc of his size & weight compared to hers. I separate them unless I am outside bc I really don’t want to find her floating dead in their pool. However, when they are together...

Thank you!!! ☺️☺️☺️

Hello! I attached a video below of one of my ducklings who was, for lack of better description, “shuffling” her beak up/down my grandsons arm. My Pekin has done that before also but he’s been much more aggressive when he’s done it. Not in a mad/angry aggressive, just very intentional about it...

Here’s a little combined video of these Rockers & Rollers! It’s CHAOS up in here!!!! 🤣🤣🤣

aww i’m glad Mama Muscovy is feeling better, I can imagine they go thru a grieving period when they lose their babes. Makes me think of the male swan that lives on this lake. He was up near, or on, my shore all alone all spring up until about 2 weeks ago. Especially if I was out there he...

This one gives more of comparison scale. He’s on the towel to our right (by way of the pic from our current view). He gets tired much quicker than the other two, i’m assuming due to his traumatic “forced” birth 😳. Hopefully he’ll catch up with the others soon

I agree! I may steal that idea

i forgot… Mr. Bigs is in the middle. He’s quite “round” in comparison to the others when sitting or lying 🤦🏼‍♀️❤️

Typical “teenagers” thinking they are grown enough to do what Mom does 😂😂. They’ve definitely gotten bigger, wow! I’m so sorry you lost one of them :(.

@New duck mommy 2021 I finally have a few pics below (& a video I will upload shortly). oh my gosh, They are perfect little cuties! They are SOOOO active & curious lol. I Used to laugh at my Pekin & Rouen when they were still tiny bc they barely did a thing but lay there soaking up all of...

oh! maybe I jumped the gun with him then, i feel like a total JERK. I will keep close eyes on him. I probably should have considered the size of the egg in my decision making process to help the hatch. what are your thoughts on that? I feel like it makes sense, now, that If the egg is bigger...

ok! I will do that. He/she definitely starting to perk up a little bit now & starting to dry out but still quite tired. He/she had been rolling its egg around practically nonstop since I took the turner out last week. Hoping I didn’t “jump the gun” with his hatch, or lack there of, & make this...

ok, that’s reassuring to know for sure. I am currently giving him “kangaroo care” right now lol he’s not getting dry at all so I took him out of incubator, wrapped him in a towel & have him snuggled up on my diaphragm. He’s talking a good amount, especially if I move to much (lol). He managed...
