I'd suggest asking members on the duck forum for their Pekin experiences. There is also a duck focus breed thread on Pekins that might help you out.

Ducks look like a lot of fun, hope you'll enjoy them!

N F C has already given links to the forums that can give you some help in your decision.

You can also try to connect with folks in your area by posting under the "where am I, where are you" forum to question specific needs with your weather there.

Good luck with your planning, hope it works out to start your new adventure.

We r getting our two ducklings tomorrow I am super excited what are the first things I will need for them? Also i don't understand how to use this site so if any one has answeres for me please message me on here please
 
Welcome to Backyard chickens. The best I can suggest is to post questions on the "Duck thread." put that in the search and it will pop up for you. Also I think you will learn a lot and get good advice from "people with house ducks," thread. They could tell you all about diapers, costs, etc. Of course as they grow they will needed Bigger diapers and it can be a real nuisance changing them. Ducks poop a lot and are capable of propelling it in all directions up and down, etc. They also love/need water and enjoy splashing it everywhere. None the less a lot of people do keep ducks as housepets.
