Fortunately they are better today. I let out when i got home from work.They played in a mud puddle and swam in their pool. They sure seemed spooky. I just put them away a few minutes ago. i will probably let them stay out longer tomorrow.

The neighbors dog is gone now. They moved away on Sunday, the dog broke its cheap rope and instead of waiting for it to come ho m e they left. They came back after the damage was done.

Sunday the neighbors dog killed six of my 12 ducks. The survivors are still trauamatized. All they do is sit in the corner of the coop. When i come in they just huddle together. They want no part of comming outside. Will they ever get over it?

I feel bad posting a downer post. The neighbors' husky killed 5 ducks and one chicken. They were in the process of movung out and the dog brike its cheap rope. And instead of someone waiting to see if the dog would come back, they left the dog run free. So it killed 5 of my ducks and one...

my two pekins are 6 weeks old today no quack yet. Beginning to think they both may be drakes.

The pool is over flowing with ducks. I'm going to go to Walmart or meijer soon and get a bigger pool.

I agree. Dont think its going to warm up much today. Only 32 degrees out. Supposed to warm up a little in a day or two. Poor things will have to wait.

Looks like a drake curl to me. I think its a boy!

Here is a picture of my two pekins and some mallards enjoying a mud puddle. They are 4 weeks old.

Let the ducklings out again today, such a beautiful day. They found a nice mud paddle and enjoyed themselves.

yes, I had one of my mallard ducklings that was about a third of the size of the others. I did everything I could for it. I feed it and gave it water and treats before the others and vitamins before the others. Sadly she passed away. I would try to give it as much extra food and vitamins as...

I am amazed at how fast the pekins grow. They must weight at least a couple pounds already. They sure are clumsy. Poor things big bodies and big feet.

Here's a picture of them bathing.

I let the ducklings outside for the first time today. They eventually had fun and took a little bath. They are 4 weeks old tomorrow. I heard one doing a squeky quack, so at lest one hen. Hopefully more. They have feathers on the their bellies and getting a few wing feathers.[/IMG]
