    Aggressive male Pekin- *need advice!*

    Thank You for the pictures...it helps to see your duck pen arrangement. I really hate that he won't get along with everybody. I assume getting another male won't help either. For now, drake jail it is.

    Aggressive male Pekin- *need advice!*

    I really can't let Donald free range with the females at all. He usually stays "in jail" inside the big 10x10 pen while all the girls get to roam around. If I turn my back for one second, he will attack the Welsh girls. He's more aggressive (mating) with the Welsh than he is with the Pekin...

    Aggressive male Pekin- *need advice!*

    Sick duck? "Raspy" voice & puffed feathers

    I've been collecting the eggs every morning, but I do have 4 ceramic eggs in the nest box to encourage the ducks to lay in the nest box instead of on the floor. I generally only see her in the nest box in the morning. Do you think she would "go broody" if there are no real eggs to sit on?

    Sick duck? "Raspy" voice & puffed feathers

    I have a 7 mo. old Buff Orpington duck (hen), Penny, that has developed a "raspy/hoarse" voice/quack lately. Her neck is also withdrawn (not sure how else to describe it), basically close to her body and her feathers are puffed up. She's acting normal other than this. She is laying regularly...
