2 whites and a....?
@Dany12 @KsKingBee Posting new pics, I'm still unsure what this peachick is. It's about 10 weeks old now. Thanks for any help you can offer! -
Finding out what kind of duck I have
Your pics didn't show up! :welcome -
Feeding New Layers
Layers feed. Mine prefer the pellets. Some people only give layers feed during mating season, but mine mate and lay all year. Treats are always welcomed happily! -
What to Feed A Duck
Layers feed freely given. Mine love sweet peas, a little bread, fresh worms and grubs and I give them kitten chow once a week for their cheat day (which happens to coincide with mine) -
Personalised Duck Advice
Haha I only keep a dozen permanently. The babies all get sold. -
I want to take my duck to a pond to socialize with other ducks, but is it allowed?
I would think if you can call her back to you on demand, you might be ok. From my own experience, when wild ducks visit my pond, my own ducks leave the water and go hide! Introducing a duck to a flock usually takes time. It may be best to just get her another duck friend. Good luck! :welcome -

Pekin duck gender
The 1st one definitely looks like it has a drake feather. Does the one in the 2nd pic quack? If it quacks it's a hen. Welcome to BYC! :welcome -
Let's talk Ducks..Right from their Bills to their doodles then to their tails..
I have a dozen Pekins. They're just so sweet. Nothing makes me smile more than seeing their big fluffy butts waddle up to the house in morning & evening for food. I don't eat them, can't! But I've sold hundreds of ducklings now and everyone who buys them promises not to eat them either.
