heres our duck house.... its not totally finished, but it was simple and does the job haha.... the roof opens to be able to clean or grab eggs ect, the side has a door so we can reach through the fence and get eggs ect, inside it has one divider making two large sections for them to build...
I also have pekins and I sexed them by voice, the female is higher and loud whereas the males is low and raspy... so im 99% sure that I have 3 females and a male, but his tail feather isnt curled. Can that happen?
I dont want to sound mean, but I dont prefer Muscovy ducks... I really like magpies and anconas, silver appleyards, blue swedish ect... can I breed a pekin with those?
I dont what just plain white, but a pekin breed with a ancona would still look like an ancona whereas a pekin and a cayugas im not sure about... I was just thinkin of sticking with the lighter color breeds to hwlp with looks.... part of the reason is because im interested in taking them to shows...
Ever since getting my ducks im hooked!!! Ihave 4 pekins and I want more and different breeds, I have a drake pekin so what breeds would be the best to breed with? I was thinking of staying with white colored ducks so if they mate together they'll still look authentic to their breed, opinions?
my firt pair of ducks, soony and sher
my current four pekins toad the drake because his voice sounds like a toad... angel the smallest and always in the water, it makes her wings looks so beautiful...savannah she's always in the dirt, and molly no real reason but the biggest female
From my understanding ducks arent solo animals, they need another duck to keep them from gettin lonely... if you can you might want to buy a duckling for him/her to keep company with, and oost pictures! Wood ducks are so beautiful!
