Help Sex my Pekings
Thanks all I think i am resigning to fact that they are both drakes unfortunately. So they will probably go on craigslist shortly. So I can start over. -
Help Sex my Pekings
I think they are about 4 1/2 months. I can't tell much difference in their voice so probably is a drake. They both are crazy loud when they get going and if you blind folded me I couldn't tell you which one is which. Darn -
Help Sex my Pekings
I know one is a Drake, just not sure on the other that happens to be a crested Peking. The drake is decisively larger and a little more calm which lead me to believe the other who is more skiddish is a duck. However, when they got older I started to believe both might be drakes. However, they... -

Lost my 3 welshie :(
Does not sound like a pred proof set up, unfortunately Absolutely correct, We are landlocked by other houses and only the 2 gates are the only actual entry points unless they go through my neighbor yards. So it never really occurred to me to lock them down any better. I guess you should... -
Lost my 3 welshie :(
Don't know what happened. Last night I change my routine for some reason. I have a little toddler playhouse I keep them in at night with garden fence around an area of our backyard. I put the 2 pekings in the pen and put gate to where the welshies could get out into backyard if they wanted... -
ARGH how do I make him be nice!?
I am in same boat, I believe I have a Drake Peking and goes after my 3 girl WH. I am hoping it will improve when they get older. It will be kindof hard to get rid of him because kids named and enjoy him. I will just see how it goes. -
Plants That Ducks WON'T Eat! (or chickens for that matter)
Not so much in back yard but front if we get out of their sight the let us know and come running to us and pretty much follow us anywhere. We had a parade with the kids leading the ducks around the culdesac. How has your older ducks take to the younger ones, my pekings are kinda mean, my... -

Duck Behavior question
I have 2 Peking ducks around 3 months old. I have 3 welsh harlequin duclings around 2 weeks old. Yesterday I put them out in the back yard were the Peking ducks are. The Peking would charge after the ducklings, btw this is the only time my dog has chased them. Don't know if he was... -
The Duck-ponics Experiment - Raising minnows
So cool, I am defiantly going to look into it myself. Filling and draining the sandbox is getting old. -
The Duck-ponics Experiment - Raising minnows
So wifezilla you don't have to drain the pond, the filtration works good? That would be awesome, my neighbor builds ponds for a living and would be willing to help. -
Safe plants for Ducks
What about the opposite? What flowers will ducks not eat? I planted $20 worth of flowers and found I just made a duck buffet. Found my 2 pekings laying in the flower bed just helping themselves. It is a small flower bed and I would like something there. -
Wifezilla guess what postman brought today :)
Good deal, our 3 are doing good also. We too also have one mouthy one. If we take one out she goes crazy. Who ever is left just keeps quite and lets her do all the yelling. Good Times.
