I'm a fairly new duck mom but can tell you not all of our Pekins lay in the winter months. We live in Florida so I kind of expected them to lay year round, 2 are still laying but one isn't. Hopefully yours will start laying in the Spring!

Thank you Sourland!

We have 3 Pekin ducks that we keep in an enclosed pen at night. During the day they are in a larger fenced in area of our yard. I feed them Romaine lettuce in the morning and unsalted diced tomatoes in the afternoon. We keep a pan of duck feed in the pen they can get to if they get hungry. I...

Thank you for replying chickens really!!

Good morning everyone! I have a Pekin duck (female) that is 1 1/2 years old. We had 2 and 1 disappeared several weeks ago. I ordered 3 female (Pekin) ducklings to keep her company and they will be 3 weeks old on Monday. Right now they are in a cage in our house. During the day when it warms up I...

Thank you! I wasn't aware of that thread!

I want to make sure we only have ducks, I don't want drakes. I've checked craigslist and did find some but they aren't sexed. We're trying to spend as much time as we can with our remaining one, she's lonely but is eating. We bring her in the house at night. I don't know if it makes her feel...

We have an enclosed pen inside of our fenced yard. We were locking them up in the pen each night but thought we'd try letting them stay in the yard because there's so many different places for them to hide at night. The duck that's missing is the one that's usually on her nest of eggs (inside...

We have 2 Pekin Ducks that are 1.5 years old. Sometime Sunday night the smaller one went missing. There's no evidence of a predator, I think she may have flown over the fence during a bad storm and might have wondered off. I'm hoping she'll find her way back home but my hopes are dwindling...

Do you just substitute duck eggs in any recipe or are there special instructions when using duck eggs? Thanks for the suggestions!

I've heard that using duck eggs in baking is really good. I'll have to try it!

Yeah we won't eat them (mind thing) so they don't get collected everyday. But I will try to find someone to take them and collect them daily. Thanks for your help!

Thank you Duck Drover! We aren't collecting them on a daily basis but will start doing that!

Hi everyone! I have two female Pekin ducks. Today my husband was taking eggs out of the nest and noticed a couple that were broken. While he was cleaning the good eggs he noticed the larger of the 2 ducks take the broken eggs out of the nest and put them in the pool. She did this with both of...

I must have one of each then, he was one her back for quite a while. I was worried about her because he kept pushing her head under water! She keeps laying 2 eggs every day which I know isn't normal for ducks but maybe she's just really fertile!

I have the same problem! I have 2 Pekins and can't tell if they are both females or if I have one male. I know I have 1 female, she quacks all the time and is very loud. Plus I'm finding 2 eggs in the nest every morning. My other one, Plucky, is very quiet and has gotten on the back of Lucky (my...

I looked at the projected path and it's further in the Gulf so I think we'll be okay! I appreciate everyone's suggestions and help!

Thanks Patty! They are a lot of fun to watch. I never knew how much fun it is to have pet ducks!

Yes we will probably get more rain than anything. The corkscrews are a good idea and we already have a couple. Thanks!

We only have 2 so if it gets bad enough we'll bring them inside. Our house is tile flooring so it it'll be easy clean up! They've changed the cone and it's a little west of us so maybe we'll get lucky and won't get any bad weather! Thanks!
