Are they in love?

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 

I have a female Pekin duck who's partner in life was a Khaki Campbell. When he disappeared we found another mate ( a Pekin). They seam to hang around together with no signs of affection. The are in the same run as my 3 hens 1 rooster. They have a kiddie pool to swim in. They've been together for 2 months. Will the eventually get more cozy?

Maybe they are both girls.

It may take some more time. Sometimes ducks are only affectionate with ducks they were raised with

Helen: Daria, do you have to look at everything in such a negative light?

Daria: Could you possibly be referring to the harsh light of reality?

Well make sure he doesn't start going after your hens, that will be fatal.

X 2.

I had a drake who was much more interested in my chicken hens than in his ladies.

It was not easy to manage.

He has since moved on. 

 

I have 2 wonderful sons, 3 ducks (2 Anconas & 1 Buff), 4 laying hens, a Holland Lop bunny, and a big scaredy cat.  I am a Chef, Baker, Bluegrass "Musician" (I know, you can't do both) and artisan.
