    Pekin Duck weak and panting. Not sure what’s wrong?

    Thanks for the sympathies and advice. I keep wondering if she ate something when they were exploring the property the other day? It just seems so fast and strange! I asked my friend if she would be willing to take her. They have a lovely flock of ducks and chickens and our kids are friends...

    Ok there were 2 eggs in there since yesterday and her vent looked normal and husband felt around and didn’t feel anything hard. So maybe not egg bound?

    Very sad. Always feel bad when I can’t help one or don’t notice an issue in time. Poor duck. And poor lone duck that’s left. Do you think it would be best to rehome, or try to get some ducklings/goslings or older duck or what? The others all grew up together.

    Well she passed. Could being egg bound kill them fast?

    Pekin Duck weak and panting. Not sure what’s wrong?

    I’m not really sure. Their egg laying has been kind of inconsistent and we aren’t really regular about our collecting times. I got 2 out of the house yesterday. Could have been from 2 days of other duck...

    We have two 2 year old Pekin Ducks left. We lost 2 to a fox in the past couple of weeks. Now one of the two is sick. A couple of days ago I noticed this duck was being a bit lethargic but it was the day after we lost one to the fox and I thought she was depressed or scared (idk if ducks even do...

    We are selling 3 tomorrow morning and I want to keep 3 girls (didn't get video of 1). These all started going through a voice change and I think they sound like they have a honk, start of a quack? The 4th video has the most dramatic change so far. Do these sound like girls or do boys sound like...

    2 or 3? How many pekins should I keep?

    My MIL bought my kids 10 Pekin ducklings for their birthdays We have had them for 2 weeks and now that the girls are starting to honk I feel comfortable getting rid of some (I didn't want to jump into it then end up with just boys)! I just want 2-3 females for pets and eggs. I am leaning toward...
