I have three domestic backyard ducks... two pekin females and one mallard male that I purchased as ducklings this spring and are now laying for the first time about 5-6months later. I would love to see some ducklings but I am new at this, so I have questions and concerns! :-( I am concerned...
Anyone in NC looking to rehome some ducks for free or very cheap? I have couple pekins male and female and I would like to bring them some more duck friends and I love having pet ducks!
They are just pets but they look skinny and smaller than most pekins. their wings are not done growing either. I raised some last year and they were more filled out, and wings were normal size. these guys have little wings that only lay halfway down their back I only had these a couple days...
Apparently my pekin ducks are four months old, I just got them couple days ago. Anyone have an idea about how much longer til they are completely full grown and fat looking? I leave their Purina layena crumble feed out in a bowl for them so they have constant access to it. I was worried they are...
Thanks for the replies! So this is a normal size for four months? I am a little worried that they may be underweight for their age. I was pretty sure the ones I raised last year were fat looking by this age. How many more weeks do you think before these two are full grown and fat looking?
Oh OK I wasn't sure, because I raised some last year and I could have sworn my pekins were full grown and fat looking in three months or so but maybe I remembered wrong lol When do you think they will look like that? I think they're cute now but kinda awkward looking, they're cuter to me when...

Thanks for the advice! I will try the meal worms. I guess I just expected them to be a little more comfortable with people in general, since they were raised by a woman and her family...and since the ducks I raised liked to sit in my lap, eat from my hand, etc. I will be patient with these and...
I just bought two four month old pekin from a woman who hatched and raised them, but they are skiddish and run from me. They panic when I try to pick them up or pet them or even offer food from my hand or a dish I put in front of them. I have raised ducks before and mine were very friendly to...
