2 females and 2 males swmiming in the pond. They've been together since September, but they've started biting one female. They don't let her swim with them, and she spends a lot of time alone. What is the problem??
This duck has had quiet a bit of fun...
Popcorn my Pekin/Mallard Cross
His life story in photo form
He is currently 6 months old
Popcorn is the father of 5 ducklings.
All of these are his, except the full Pekin. She is a recue. She and 2 other were thrown out, but we were too late...
I've got ducks in my little red wagon!
The Pekin in the picture is a rescue. Someone threw her out along with 2 others; sadly, the other two were hit by cars
In this group, 5 have been named: Peanut, Peeps, Sunny, Boss, and QuackerJack
I have 8 eggs in the incubator. (Pekin and Khaki eggs) 6 were set on February 8th and 2 were set on the 10th.
It's day 22 for the 6 eggs and one has ALREADY internally pipped, on day 21!
I candled yesterday, and the duckling is tapping the egg, and I can hear it peeping. The temp is...
This is Popcorn, he is a Pekin/Mallard cross. You can't tell that he has Pekin in him except for the white tips on his wings and his size.
He really is the most beautiful Drake I have. I got lucky when I was hatching him, because he had SO MANY complications. He has dressed up for several...
My baby Popcorn will be 8 weeks on November 10th. I moved him into the pen with my other ducks at 5 weeks old. My 4 other ducks still haven't really accepted him, and he only comes out of his house each day when I feed and change water. What can I do to make him feel better? I have been "Mommy"...
My one month old Pekin Mallard cross is a little character. Her name is Popcorn and she has been spoiled since her hatch day. I ALWAYS know when she is mad at me because she runs away; when she isn't mad at me she lets me walk up to her and pick her up. She gets mad when I leave her in the pen...
My high school has themed game days. Last Friday was Patriotic Day. Popcorn (Pekin Mallard Cross) participated!
This Friday is our "Black-Out" (Black light) what could I do for him? he seems to like the attention :rolleyes:
So here's the dealio, I am bringing my duck to an elementary school to educate students. I was going to try to get a pet stroller for him to relax in, but the only store that has them... is asking for A LOT of $$$. What would be something easy and as "stress free" to carry him in? It would need...
This is Popcorn
He is a 3 wk old Mallard Pekin Cross
He is SUPER rotten (in the best way) He is the only one out of 18 eggs that hatched.
Popcorn is my miracle. He pipped 4 days early, became shrinkwrapped, AND still had his yolk-sac attatched... 3 days later he had absorbed the yolk and began...
I want to introduce Popcorn (2 wk old duckling) to my 4 other ducks, BUT things aren't going so well. He gets hissed at and they lunge at him. What can I do?
I don't want them to hurt him. He won't be staying with them for a month or so, but I don't want them to gang up on him. BTW not sure on...

I have had 4 eggs with fully developed babies. Die. They just stop growing!
They have wings, bills, cute little feet, and feathers. but, Dead.
Their approx hatch days come and go without as much as a shaking egg.
What is HAPPENING???
They are in a LG still air incubator, I turn them 3-4 times...
I just noticed this spot near Popcorn's tail on his/her back, it is like a bunch of feathers are trying to grow out of the same hole.
I have never seen this on any of my ducklings before...:hu
