peking duck

Question- can Peking ducks survive on their own in nature ? (PA region). I have seen Cayugas that were both released and escaped pets in locals lakes and they thrive, but they are much more adept at flying and foraging (and they live in the wild in NY regardless)… So my reason for about...

Good day, well I’m new to this. I’m not quite sure how to use this but I’m gonna give it a shot. I hv property in a small town in Washington state. I am close to water way. Across the street from me. So with that said I shave a large pond feed by underground springs. And it is full all year...

Our neighbors abandoned their chickens and ducks after Hurricane Michael 4 years ago. The chickens were mostly eaten by hawks except the last one, which was rescued when I called a friend who raises chicks. The ducks were juveniles and wandered our canal neighborhood, eventually settling into...

Hey everyone. Just starting out with ducks and was wondering if anyone can help me figure out what’s wrong with this baby.

Good morning! We have 2 male peking ducks that have recently began biting our ankles (and sometimes toes if available) and running in front of us as we walk, essentially almost tripping us:hmm. They always have duck pellets available to them but they mostly free range for food and have been...

I live in NJ, and there was a bad storm about a month ago where we got 18 inches of snow. A friend of mine works as a plow operator, and during the storm he found a duck under a car during his shift. He brought her to me - she's a bit deformed so there's no way she would survive in the wild -...

Hello! I live in a residential neighborhood with a decent sized lake in the backyard. Well someone decided it was a good idea to dump 3 Peking ducks with clipped wings in the lake to fend for themselves. I enjoy sitting on the dock and feeding the fish, so naturally they took to me. I have...

I work with a rescue organization and we have rescued a large female peking duck. She was rescued from a park and was getting picked on apparently over a long course of time before neighbors caught her. She's finally started to eat a bit when put in her water tub, spends her time laying down...

Hello all, I have a sick duck I think. It is a 8-9 week old white peking duck and it won't extend it's neck even while walking. I should add that sometimes it will extend its neck but only about half way. It has whitish diarrhea, eye discharge and can get around but struggles it looks like...

Hello! I'm new to ducks because my boyfriend and I moved into our first apartment together and there's a huge lake/community center across the street that we visit all the time. We like to feed peas (or a small amount of rice when we're out of peas) to the geese and ducks there. Our favorite...

I have a very rambunctious female Peking and two male Indian runners. My Peking hurt her leg (again) and has been limping the past few days. She like to try to find things to jump off of and we have limited her access to heights but alas, she is limping again. This morning I go out to check on...

The poop checkers I know will decide if their healthy: @casportpony (tag people that you know that are “poop checkers”!) So I have two pekin ducks that will be a year (estimated) March 7. I want to start a thread where every week I will post pics of their poop, and the poop checkers tell me if...

I am in need of re-homing my 4 year old drake. He has become overly aggressive to 1 of the 3 females we have for him. In February we got him 2 new females to try and cull his enthusiasm and shortly after his life long partner passed away. Since then we got him a third female. we had a second...

We have 8 week old Pekings. 4 of them. Love them so much. They are spoiled rotten. They seem to be slowly turning yellow again. And losing tons of little white feathers. I read some of the posts and done think they much cracked corn and the water is fine. Any ideas?
