    new stock tank

    I just bought my 4 pekins a 50 gallon stock tank because they could barely fit in their kiddy pool. they are terrified to go in it. it’s partially in the ground so they don’t have a steep ramp or anything. any pointers to get them in it?

    my duck has an eye problem!!!

    my 7 week old pekin will not open her eye for very long. she wouldn’t open it at all so i caught her and managed to get what I think was a down feather out of her eye. she’s opening it a little more now and acting pretty much the same as normal, her quack sounds a little bit odd but she’s just...

    bedding/ smell prevention

    I am currently using straw in my pekin's run and pine shavings in the coop, I have 0 problems with the pine shavings they're easy to clean up and put down. The straw on the other hand is a pain. I have a feeling it might be the straw I am using because I bought some at TSC and it stayed pretty...

    gender

    I have 4 pekins rolling up on 6 weeks. they’re starting to want to fly and have all their feathers in etc. I’m about 99% sure i’ve heard all 4 QUACK. I don’t know if I have all females or the curled feathers just aren’t in yet? I’m kinda anxious to what they are lol.

    angel wing.

    my pekins are about 4 weeks old and one of their wings is looking funny. i have a sick feeling it could be angel wing. i guess the ‘quick‘ of the wing ‘ idk what else to say’ is growing in but there is no white feather on it. it’s the only one with it and it looks tilted up a little. it could...

    brewers yeast

    my pekins are 3 weeks old and have been on 1 cup brewers yeast for every 10 cups of food, they’re legs are strong and they LOVE running around outside. Do I need to decrease the amount of brewers yeast they need or could have been putting less this whole time cause they’re flyin through it?
