    2 girls? or not?

    Update: my "bottom" duck has started laying eggs but the other one has not and they're the same age so if they are both females, I'm at a loss as to why the other one is not. I bought a cheap incubator because I don't want to spend too much money since I'm not even sure that the eggs are being...

    2 girls? or not?

    that's so interesting. I'm learning more and more about ducks everyday it seems! Lol! I researched when they lay eggs and it said at around 28 weeks of age so I still have a few more weeks until then. at this point I'm just waiting and seeing because I'm at a loss. the duck in question I think...

    2 girls? or not?

    also I know they've reached sexual maturity because one of them discharges the lubrication back there...if you know what I'm talking about, and I read that was a sign of sexual maturity.

    2 girls? or not?

    they both quack although one is definitely louder than the other. one of them has never really done a full on quack but doesn't do the raspy quack a Male does. I know now that the only reason females are charged more is because people want eggs. and okay them mounting each other makes sense but...

    2 girls? or not?

    okay so sorry I didn't post a video but they've gotten to the point where they are mating. However I still think they're both girls. But I'm confused because I feel like if they were both girls they wouldn't even attempt mating. anyone else had this happen?

    2 girls? or not?

    So I have 2 pekin ducks that are around 8 and a half weeks old and I bought them straight run from Tractor Supply Co. At first I wanted 2 boys but then I wanted a boy and a girl so they could have baby ducks :) but I'm starting to think based on their vocalizations that they're both girls which...

    Ducks Resisting Diapers

    I just want to make it clear so you guys don't think I'm being cruel to them that I have no intention of keeping them inside their whole lives. I know based on their behavior that they like it better outside and if they're kept inside too long the squawk until I let them out. My mom ordered a...

    Ducks Resisting Diapers

    So this past week my duck diapers that I ordered came in for my two pekin ducks (both around 7 weeks old) and when I tried to put them on they threw A FIT! One is more okay with wearing it than the other but still does not like it. The other one won't tolerate it. It'll struggle and thrash and...

    Ducklings size difference

    i have a similar situation with my 2 pekin ducklings. one is very noticeably bigger than the other and they’re the same age. i’m hoping that it means they are of different sexes because i kinda want more baby ducklings although my parents don’t😅 but it could just be genetics. after all humans...

    My ducks hate me.

    i also find that mine prefer to forage and such on their own than be with me constantly though they do like me being present with them. is it something similar to them just needing to establish independence a bit as they emerge into adulthood?

    My ducks hate me.

    so just have to be patient and eventually they will become more laid back? just keep spending time with them, feeding them treats occasionally, and DON’T chase them unless necessary?

    My ducks hate me.

    okay. i was hoping it was something like that. sometimes i have been chasing them to pick them up just because i can’t control myself😂 but i always make sure to feed them treats both when i’m holding them and after so they have something positive to associate with the experience. i will try...

    My ducks hate me.

    i need help too. i have 2 pekin ducks that are about 5 weeks old and while they do like to be around people and peep/quack loudly when they’re alone with each other, they still hate to be picked up or pet and run away whenever i get close (and of my family members i’m the most bonded with them)...
