    My duck's leg is hurt

    I haven't like felt her leg or anything but it doesn't look swollen or anything and it looks normal when i got home we kinda coaxed her off of the rocks into the pond and she was using it A LOT more than she was yesterday, I don't remember the name of the feed but it's like the "standard" duck...

    My duck's leg is hurt

    She's in a small space but like has the option to walk around a little more today, when I just went out to let them out of their cage (they go in at nights cause we have wild animals that walk around the neighborhood sometimes and i don't want anything to happen to them) she'd rather just kinda...

    What is the best filtering equipment for a 500L duck pond

    We put in a major yard project for our Pekin's several months ago ... we have 650 gallons so quite a bit larger than yours but take a look at the pictures from our duck pond build (just search our name). The babies love it and while it is not the most pleasant thing to clean the filters every...

    Caring for Pekin Ducks in Cold Climates

    So is there a temp that most of you feel is too cold for the Peking Duck to be outside. Mine have a converted dog house they bed in and it was 25 degrees F last night ... They were fine and went straight to their pond this morning, very happily, when I let them out at 7am. Thoughts? It has an...

    Gonna be cold tonight - Pekin Ducks

    Thanks ... they are 9 months old and fully feathered and their house is a 'dog house' that has windows that are closed. The floor is slightly vented as are the eves of the house but the opening for the door is open. I really think that they will be fine especially with the bedding that is in...

    Gonna be cold tonight - Pekin Ducks

    They have secure housing for the nights and are fine in that regard. They question is more around the temperature extremes for Pekins. The water is moving at a rate of 5000 gallons per hour and their pond is 660 gallons so that should not be a freeze challenge here in Atlanta and their pen and...

    Gonna be cold tonight - Pekin Ducks

    Hi All - Well as many of you know we are new to keeping ducks and tonight is going to be a moderately cold night here in Atlanta (38 degrees) but there is a chance for a freeze this week ... any precautions for the Pekins? Also, as they obviously live outside all year ... any winter advice...

    Pekin Ducks and Grass Seed

    Thanks to both of you ... I am glad to know that the seed will not be an issue ... as far as them leaving the grass shoots alone ... that will be a challenge as they have free roaming of the back yard but it will be what it will be!

    Pekin Ducks and Grass Seed

    Hi All - As you have, as a community, given so many good answers in the past ... time for a new question. As many know, we put in a pond in our backyard for our two Pekin Ducks. It is almost fall and it is time to do the annual over seeding of the back yard with fescue grass seed. The...

    Duck Pond/pool pictures

    I thnk this one was for me?! The pond (650 gallons-ish) was built for us at cost but still was expensive ... retail this would likely be around $5,000 for the pond and a $2,500-$3,000 for the deck / patio area. The filtration seems to work great and we have a bottom filter that draws about...
