    I think my duck is sick.

    This morning we had a scare. I went out to let the ducks out of their pen. They free range during the day, and are penned up at night. I had to leave this morning and I let them out of their pen and heard a hawk call. I looked up in the trees and couldn't see anything. I stood there for a bit...

    I made a joke about our neighbors dog barking all the time. I said we were going to get a rooster.Someone told me I should get a peacock. I thought cool!. I do think they are beautiful. My husbands aunt's neighbor has peacocks. Then last night at an auction there were some peacocks. I so want...

    Drakes mounting drake.

    I have six ducks. Two Pekins(Drake) a Khaki Campbell(drake) and three Blue Swedish(one drake two hens) I got them all as ducklings. Today I noticed the Pekins going after the Swedish drake. Grabbing onto him and looks like they were trying to mount him while of course he was trying to get away.

    I got me a leaf, I got me a leaf.

    I just had to share this funny thing Ming Ming does, he is a Pekin. He carries a cluster of leaves around. He will also do a little dance like he is showing his prize off to the other ducks. It is so funny.

    Dominant behavior.

    My Pekins are 5 weeks old. Yesterday I brought them inside for a swim in the tub. We are planning on getting a kiddie pool soon. As they were swimming I noticed that Ming Ming kept putting his(I think he could be she though)neck over Daisy's. Once it looked like he tried to mount Daisy. I figure...

    When can the baby ducklings meet the older ducks?

    Our Pekins are a month old now and they are in an outside pen that we open for awhile during the day to let them forage. The four we brought home Friday are still inside of course. Once they are big enough how can I introduce them? Has there ever been problems adding new ducks?

    What is this duck?

    I got this duck yesterday with three other ducks. The others are Blue Swedish but this one really doesn't look like the others. Much darker, and no yellow chest like the others. This one is also the calmest of the four and I posted some pics yesterday and this was the one on the door of the...

    Pekin mating with WH?

    Could a Pekin Drake seriously injure a WH Hen. Is it common? I contacted someone on CL about some WH ducklings and I get the feeling they don't want me to buy any. We have been going back and forth in email and they still haven't let me know of a time I can come out. Instead they tell me after I...

    Ducklings or adults?

    We have two Pekin ducklings. We are wanting to add more ducks. All the feed stores are out of ducklings. They pretty much sell out the first day they come in. My husbands cousin and his girlfriend go to farm auctions quite a bit. His cousin knows we are wanting more ducks so he let us know that...

    What is your favorite breed and why?

    We have two Pekins and are planning on adding a couple more ducks. I like Cayugas the most but I recently found someone close by that is selling Welsh Harlequins. So now I am researching them. Which breeds are your favorite and why?

    Duck personalities an gender

    We got our ducks from Tractor Supply. They are Pekins and we watched a video on how to sex ducks on the Metzer Farms website. My husband checked and they seem to be females. I have been reading old posts and have seen some of you mention that the males are quieter. I have noticed that one that...

    Friendly breeds

    Right now we have two Pekins. Not 100% sure on the sex, my husband checked and they seem to be females. I would like to add one or two more ducks. I love the look of Cayugas and also Rouens. Should there be a certain male/female ratio?
