Gladys has an infection? Tumor?
Hello friends, happy to say Gladys has been fine all year. Yesterday we got flies in the yard and seemed to be all around Gladys, she looked fine and don’t think anything of it. Today it was worse and I inspected her and sure enough found this. It smells a little. What are your thoughts? Thank you! -
Gladys is not feeling well.
Hi folks, this is the 3rd day that Gladys has been lethargic and not eating well. She seems a little warm to me as well but I'm not sure.

Excessive molting?

One of our two ducks died. Now what?
We have had two female Pekins for almost three years now. They are free rangers in the day and fenced after dark. They get tucked into their safe house when we go to bed. Amelia passed last night after a week of lethargic behavior and little to no eating or drinking. Day before yesterday we... -
Collecting porcelain ducks
Once we got our two Pekins last year, (Gladys and Amelia) friends started bringing me porcelain ducks. Once that started happening I started noticing a lot of them in antique stores, GoodWill, yard sales. So now I have almost a dozen ducks. It occurred to me, surely there are other people who... -
I'm new here
Hi folks, we have two 1 yr old Pekins and we love them so much. I signed up here when we first got them and lurked enough to get started. Things have worked out really well, thanks. Gladys and Amelia are daylight free rangers that are accompanied by one or two dogs most of the time. We live in...
