    We had a male Peking who would chase our Rhode Island Red. We figured the he preferred red heads. Lol. He was way to heavy. She always escaped if caught.

    Help in identifying duck

    I stopped by Tractor Supply to hey supplement and apparently was met by an employee having a very bad day (super rude) She insisted I buy duck feed, not just supplement. I did. Where do you buy your supplement? Online?

    Help in identifying duck

    Can anyone help me identify what type of duck this is? We were told initially, by the woman who gave us ducks, that it was a Pekin. However, their color and size is different that Pekin ducks we bought at tractor supply.

    Limping Duck

    Thank you for the information. Today, my husband said it looks like his middle "toe" is swollen and some swelling higher up too. Would we do same treatment? I have Niacin capsules that I bought and was mixing in water when they were little and inside. I'm not sure the best route to give it...
