Free range vs the run
I am here to post again! Of course. Haha. In my last few posts I’ve been talking about our duck run we built and posted some pics, it’s 16x12.5. The coop is on the outside with the door open to the inside. Everything is predator proof. My reason for posting now is because I was talking to a... -
2 or 1 Male Pekins in Massachusetts/New England
Hi! We have 4 Pekins. 2 male/2 female. I realize the ratio is off and I am trying to put feelers out to see if anyone would be interested in both males or even just one. I live in Massachusetts but I am certainly willing to drive given that the ducks will be provided a nice, loving home. I am...- Tor7039

Duck run/coop tips/suggestions/criticism
Hey! So now that our Henry is on the mend...my fiancé is finishing up our duck run. I wanted to write in to see if anyone had any thoughts or tips on how to improve our run. Or, if something looks off and you have a better idea, please let me know. The ducks will mostly live in this pen as our... -
Bleeding wing/angel wing in duck
Hey everyone! In a previous post I wrote about my Henry who has angel wing and how I was pretty unsuccessful in wrapping him. I tried several times and he ended up getting super stressed and panting non stop. I thought it was just at that point in his best interest to stop because it really was... -
Possible angel wing in Pekin duck
I’m back again with another worry! Haha. One of my Pekin ducklings I noticed has something a little odd going on with the wing. They’re about 5 weeks old give or take so maybe they’re just in an awkward stage or could be I’m just looking too far into it like I normally do but I’ll post some... -
Random panting duckling
Hi! My Pekins are going to be about 4 weeks old this coming week. We haven’t moved them outside yet because I just don’t feel like temps have been high enough for them to be out there all night. Currently, they are in our walkout basement in an extra large kiddie pool. Our neighbor has a big... -
Preening Pekin ducklings
We took our Pekin ducklings for a swim yesterday which they absolutely LOVED! It was so cute seeing them swim under water and dunk their little heads in. Henry, our youngest duckling hasn’t been dunking his head underwater with his waterer, which is a large ricotta cheese container with holes... -
Duckling with continuous nostril issues
Hi everyone! I’ve posted here a few times about my Pekin ducklings :) I have four and I noticed that one of them keeps having an issue with what I think is a possible clogged nostril. I have a milk jug waterer and a deep Tupperware container with holes cut out so they are all able to stick their... -
Purina flock raiser...not sure if medicated.
Hi guys. I feel so annoying because this is my second post but I’m over thinking and just need an opinion. I read on here that Purina Flock Raiser is good for ducklings/ducks so I ended up buying it. When I went online to look on the Purina website, it also had a medicated version available. I... -
Another niacin question!
Hi everyone! I feel like a broken record but I have a niacin question. I got 4 ducklings 4 days ago and didn’t realize I was supposed to add niacin to food or water. One of my ducklings flopped over last night and couldn’t get up on its own. It seems to be an isolated issue but I ended up...
