I do have other ducks. I have mallards but they are in a separate enclosure than the Pekin...the Pekin (we call her Ms. Duck Duck) doesn't really like other fowl in her enclosure...she prefers to look at them through the wire.

Other than not laying, she's doing well. Acting normal. "Talking" to me. She's in a pen (she has a bad leg...had it when we got her) but she let's me know when she wants something...usually fresh greens...and she gets them. She's a sweet little duck.

We "adopted" a Pekin duck (hen) when we bought some chickens from an individual. They never mentioned how old she was. She was laying eggs. We have had her now for about a year and a half.

The ones that she laid in the middle of her pen, I collected. My preacher likes them. I prefer our chicken eggs over the ducks eggs...They don't go to waste though.

I have a pair of mallards (male & female). Her eggs hatched 16 days ago. 7 days after they hatched, she started laying eggs in her original nest again. She laid 6, covered them up, and then I started seeing eggs laying just where ever in her enclosure. I've gotten 4 of them that were just laying...

Thank you all for the warm welcome!

Hi, I am new to the group. I am looking to learn more on raising my backyard birds. I currently have chickens and ducks. We currently have 40 chickens consisting of RIR, Australorps, golden comets, buff orpingtons, and some what we call barnyard mix cause we have no clue what they are. We have a...
