wow! I home school my 9 and 10 year olds. I feel so bad having to put our drake in lock down, so today I'm going to make him a temporary pin something bigger and next to his mate {daisy} and the ducklings. she took the ducklings for a swim yesterday and it was so cute watching them. they are 5 days old today. I watch them all the time to make sure they are doing ok. daisy is doing a wonderful job.......
Wow, I haven't seen one of those yet! They are beautiful birds.
These are my Valentine ducklings. They're dad is a pekin and mom is a khaki Campbell
So I have a KC hen and a Pekin drake. Oh how I love them both but I have to ask this question....no one hate meAre Pekin's not known for their brains? I mean, I know ducks aren't known as the smartest animals, but my KC seems pretty intelligent, but my poor Pekin. He's extremely clumsy and lacking a bit in the brains department ( and by a bit I mean a lot). He sure is handsome though, all brawn and no brain
Is this normal or did I just get lucky with him?
All of this is so cute. Love Lily and JoJo and the duckling.They decided to join me at the fire. Roast duck anyone?
I finally got a pool for the ducks. So far, Jojo is the only one that I have seen use it. This was taken as soon as I finished filling it. I thought he would stay in, but came running after me the second I walked away.

@duckies1230 Lily does swim. She prefers bodies of water she can walk into. The neighbors' yard floods when it rains. The other day, it was BAD. All seven ducks were swimming around in the puddles. Maybe the ducklings and Jojo swimming convinced her. IDK. I wish I had had a camera.
I wanna go in there and snuggle with those white fluffers.
So excited I can finally posted an updated picture of our babies they are getting so big and love there house
my pekins are pretty dumb too (love them, my favorites) always getting their heads stuck in the fence, or trying to eat a rock, whist my KC is escaping the pen. I guess it's just the breed, although I'm sure their are some genius pekins. (I named my dumbest pekin after a genius....)
I don't know if it's "normal" but I have 3 Pekins. One has a little brains the other two were standing behind the door when they handed out brains! LOL Mine are pretty girls as well. I have been wondering if it is just Pekins or other ducks as well. My Cayuga and Swedish seem to have a few brains. Definitely smarter than the Pekins!So I have a KC hen and a Pekin drake.
