    Pekin Drake Limping - Not Bumble

    Right, I figured his size and weight might have something to do with it, my little runner is so streamlined and small she can glide for a good 50 feet haha, no such ability with my boy! Yeah, I’ve been really wanting to find another pool solution for them, currently using one of those giant...

    Pekin Drake Limping - Not Bumble

    Hi! Thank you so much for your reply! I’m thinking it’s a sprain as well, definitely a chance he hopped down from the pool wrong! It’s hard to tell with the swelling because of the odd shape of their lower legs. I may just be imagining it, I’ll try to add a pic later today! Yes, he’s about 4.5...

    Pekin Drake Limping - Not Bumble

    Hi! I noticed a few days ago my Pekin drake was limping. It’s his left leg/foot. I’ve done some research and noted that bumblefoot tends to be a reason for this, but after inspecting his leg and foot, I see no scratches or cuts or damaged areas anywhere. His leg seems slightly swollen, but...

    Jumbos eh? They must be massive! I’ve been so impressed and amazed at his size and rapid growth. It’s been a great experience so far!

    Help identifying my pretty lady duck!

    This is what they looked like: I believe this was at about 1 week (I don’t think both are the exact same age, I believe the Pekin is a bit older)

    Help identifying my pretty lady duck!

    She’s definitely a girl, she’s been quacking since week 4 or so! But thank you so much for the breed confirmation! Will she start walking more upright the older she gets? Or is it a trait that can be more or less pronounced in the breed?

    Help identifying my pretty lady duck!

    Howdy! I’ve had these two ducks for about 6 weeks now, they were both purchased from TS. My boy is without a doubt a Pekin and I’ve assumed my girl is a runner, but am unsure considering these are my first duckies! She doesn’t seem to walk/run super upright like adult runners I’ve seen in videos...

    5 week old Pekin smells dirty/sour. Please help!

    So, I had them on starter pellets and the classic brewers yeast with garlic until the bag of pellets ran out, then switched to crumble since it was pushed on me by a tractor supply employee 🙄. I didn’t like how messy the crumble was and that it made my ducks cough sometimes, so they were only on...

    5 week old Pekin smells dirty/sour. Please help!

    I have two ducks that are about 5 weeks old now. One is a Pekin. They’re both going through their feathering stage and it all seems to be going very well. However, yesterday I noticed for the first time that the Pekin is a bit smelly. It’s a sour laundry kind of smell. They both have bath time...
