Well after isolating him for a few days...things seem alittle better. She is tight with the females, but every once in a while our drake pushes her away from the group. Hoping time will correct it now.

This is our duck house! It has screen windows for the summer and plexiglass windows for the winter. We also have fencing we put around it in the winter. Too dangerous to be free range in the winter in upstate NY!

Finally after 2 days I was able to pen them all up. Little stinkers must of known my thoughts because they slept in the middle of the creek for 2 nights! Keeping fingers crossed that I can keep my drake penned up to give the girls a little bonding time and he is nicer to her upon his release!

Approximately 6 months is when we found our first egg. Exciting day!

Around 6 months is when we noticed our males curl.

A week or so ago, I posted about 3 of my ducks getting hit by a truck. 1 survived, but needed care. I had her penned up while we were nursing her back. The rest of my flock seemed in shock from the event and stayed away from her until about 5 days ago. They started laying next to the fence where...

Please add me! I'm trying to figure out how this blog thing works! May have it now! Lol

How old were your Pekins when they stopped laying eggs?

My females have multiple nests...its a little like an Easter egg hunt each morning! Sometimes 2 will sit in a nest together!

It wasn't until mine were 6 months old that I could tell the difference between the males and females. My male has a very distinct curl on his tail. It's cute! He also seems to have a brighter orange beak, and a thicker neck. Hope that helps!

My injured duck is bathing! She hasn't preened herself since she was hit last week! So glad to see her in her tub!

New here! Here are my Pekins playing in the sprinkler! My flock loves spinach! They gobble it right up!

Here they are quacking at the mink...a little hard to see, but it is to the left of the ducks. Its black. Even the mink looks at them as if to say, leave me alone I'm trying to find food! I don't know if its the size of the flock or what, just strange!

It's funny you mention the fox. We have had our ducks for 2 years, the fox comes to the creek and scoops the duck eggs out of the water (our ducks aren't very maternal, and drop their eggs whereever, in the water too) and the fox eats the eggs. While our ducks are with in feet of him quacking...

Aw! Thanks! Yes, I spend hours reading post about everyone's ducks! It's great! Lots of ideas and information to learn! Thank you for the nice welcome!

Good morning. I am new to posting here. I currently have 6 pekin ducks. I have had a total of 10 since I began raising ducks. My ducks are free range most of the year. We live next to a creek, which they enjoy all Summer and Fall, but it becomes to dangerous for them in the Winter. Recently 3...
