First broody duck!
Hello friends! Our female runner, May, has just gone broody. We left her with her eggs to pile up hoping that it would stop her from laying (she is less than a year old and she had quite a few softies even though she has free choice to a bucket full of oyster shell). Before she went broody, she...- PekinDiaries

Emergency!! Positioned wrong/Assisted hatching! Please help!
The boy LOVES them! And they love everything! They even go and try to hug the dog, which makes him entirely too uncomfortable so he runs from them. (Some bird dog, eh?) And yeah, definitely the biggest birds I've ever seen! :P- PekinDiaries

Emergency!! Positioned wrong/Assisted hatching! Please help!
Hello again friends! It's been almost 5 months since their huge ordeal, and I wanted to share a few things. The BOYS are the most amazing ducks that I've ever come in contact with. Their personalities are wonderfully unique! Genghis (the oldest) is our alpha drake and he knows it! Kublai is the...- PekinDiaries

Just wanted to show of my kids. 7 weeks old today! I swear they are part goose. It seems like yesterday we were pulling them out of their eggs (both were assisted hatching). We werent sure if they were going to make it. But now they are happy, very healthy ducks! (She was watching a plane go by...- PekinDiaries

Mine are about that age and yes, it is QUITE normal. They may just be splashing it and spilling. My kids cant resist doing that, so we are constantly filling their water. I still use cedar with mine, but I mix it with straw. Cedar is good at absorbing, while the straw is an excellent insulator...- PekinDiaries

Alright friends! We are officially starting the building of our coop and I was wondering: does anybody have Jumbo's? Ours are not yet full grown and I was wondering how tall they stand. Is it much taller than a normal Pekin or is it the same, just more body mass? My mother had a standard pekin...- PekinDiaries

I love it! The preening with mine gets a little out of control sometimes. I kiss their bills and they sometimes have a habit of going for my lip or nose. Even gave me a nice big spot on my bottom lip once. Its just a love bite though, and I cant be mad at that.- PekinDiaries

Supporting the legs does really help. Kublai (hopefully our girl) cries when shes separated from Genghis, but doesnt struggle as much as he does. (I always have to carry one of them to put them back in their tank because wherever one goes, the other follows.) I cant WAIT to see how pretty their...- PekinDiaries
