    Feeding Baby Ducks

    I got two out of three new pekins at tsc last saturday, and I feed them gamebird. They seem rather happy with it.

    Seeing skin through the down

    My ducklings are still in the brooder and are growing very very very very quick. So fast that they can't quite cover all their skin with yellow down, I can see pink poking through. Is that normal, or a problem?

    Golden Retriever + Ducklings?

    She's never seen ducks before and she listens to her humans very well. I think I'll give it a shot, seeing as how 'gentle' and 'leave it' 'stop' and the like are parts of her vocabulary.

    Golden Retriever + Ducklings?

    I have an eight year old (come August, around the time my new pekins will be maturing) Golden who is very curious about the new guests in the house. I've introduced her to the trio, all turning a week old tomorrow, and she seems rather curious, but her doggy expressions are a little hard to...

    Pekin Duck Club!

    Yeah, they're my first. It's been a long few days so far, but it's mellowing out.

    How old is my duckling?

    I also used a nice digital thermometer and fixed my lamps to be the right temperature. Previously I fell a little short. I positioned the lamps so that there is a completely dark corner. The water dish is more restrictive. They are sleeping........ Thank god.

    How old is my duckling?

    These are the three. I got the same breed w/out the Crest. Far left is the original, named Impulse, then Q and far right is Moneypenny. As soon as they got home, I put them in the box and after a while they calmed down and ate a bunch, drank a bunch, you know. But now that there's three of...

    How old is my duckling?

    I got two more to keep him company, I took the 'singleton' advice to heart.

    How old is my duckling?

    Yes, I plan on keeping him. I'm divided between my mothers and fathers house, my father has a pond and a great backyard. My mother has a great backyard as well. I've heard quite a bit that it's a good idea to get a couple instead of one, and I think I'm going to do that.

    How old is my duckling?

    I bought this duckling a couple days ago and he currently lives in a brooder; but as for the age of the duckling I'm not very sure at all. The only thing I really know is that I bought him on Thursday the 21st. Perhaps someone can give me an educated guess by the pic? That said, I have another...
