Sometimes first eggs are small, they get bigger, I found one the other day that didn't even have yolk just white.So I was outside petting my female Jumbo Pekin while she was down in her mating position that she seems to like to do for me, lol, I call it her "flounder" position and call her "Flounder Bird" all the time. And it wasn't long into petting her that this tiny little egg popped right out of her! Hahahaha!! The first one that I have ever seen from her! This egg measures 1 1/2 inches long. Could be because of the weather, eh? Not enough sunlight, plus it being her first egg, too, I suppose? Must be her first one as I have not found any of these in their tiny duck-house nor any in the small patch of grass that I managed to expose for them over the past couple of weeks since it has been snowing here in Virginia. Strangest thing ever!
You are right to be concerned, as I have been told that drakes, when they try to mate with chickens, can injure or kill them due to equipment mismatch.have three Pekins & another duck (can't remember what breed he is). The Pekins are Quackers, Cheese, and Prim. The other is Peeta. :3 Has anyone had problems with their male Pekins pulling out their hens feathers? Quackers keeps pulling bald patches on several hens' lower backs, just above their tails. They don't seem to care but it's stressing me out because I worry about em. They're my feathered kids! Lol. Here's a pic of one of the chickens he's fond of picking on. She looks rough but she's fine. I've got her in the house letting her regrow feathers.
