    The world of Razzle & Dazzle: Injured Pekin Drake

    Yes, we are so grateful he's going to be OK I thought that separating them wasn't the best, even under these circumstances. They are so in sync with each other that I worried about their emotional well being lol craziness I know. Tomorrow I will set about putting them closer. Since the...

    The world of Razzle & Dazzle: Injured Pekin Drake

    Pekin Drake Dilemma

    Hi So this spring, in addition to getting our baby chicks we fell into the baby duck "love at first sight" syndrome and also purchased two baby Pekins. They co-existed with the chicks through all of spring inside and then when the weather permitted we moved them all into our run, very quickly...

    Putting my chickens and ducks together?

    Funny you should ask......I am on here looking for different help but at one time asked the same question you have posed. I have two Pekin ducks and 14 hens...all brooded together since 1 day old. The past 5 months have had no issues, moving them from the in-house brooder to a glorious outside...

    Ornamental? Thats all they said.....

    Hi I was wondering if someone could tell me what this breed is? While I chose and purchased specific breeds for laying hens.....my daughter grabbed this one. Needless to say I have no clue, being a newbie. I do think it is a bantam? It's the same size 3 weeks later while the others are...
