I have a pekin that was injured by a wild animal when she was a month old. She had been bitten around her right eye and when I took her to the vet they gave me polysporin, like Going Quackers suggested. They also had me administer regular eye drops like Thera Tears. I alternated between those...
Something very interesting happened yesterday. I separated the blue Swedish drake, Stan, from the flock for a couple of days. That left all of my girls and the young harlequin drake, Archer, with my other older drake, Howard. Howard is pretty good with all of the girls and doesn't mind Archer...
I am having a similar problem with my ducks. I have 1 pekin (hen), 4 anconas (hens) , 2 welsh harlequins (drake and hen), and two blue swedish (drake and hen). The welsh harlequins are the youngest in the flock and are now the same size as my 4 month old anconas. The pekin and two blue swedish...
I have a small flock of 4 anconas and a pekin. The pekin was rescued and I bought the anconas as ducklings so that she would not be lonely. She immediately took to the anconas and they all got along well. Once the anconas were a couple months old I finally found someone who was hatching welsh...

I have one pekin named Sunny. She is the lone survivor of a group of 6 ducklings that were attacked by a predator. She is missing part of her left wing and the tip of her bill, but is a
strong resilient girl and the leader of a small flock of anconas.
We don't know for certain, but we believe it was a raccoon that snuck through a hole in the roof of the area they were in. Since then we have refortified their pen and built a coop that latches shut for added protection.
I have a pekin who was the lone survivor of a predator attack she had had her wing torn off so first let me tell you I know how you must feel.
First as long she is eating and drinking your off to a great start. An injured animal that refuses food or water is a bad sign, but you don't have to...
Hi, I am new to the duck community and wanted to share my very special pekin, Sunny, with everyone.
She was a lone survivor in a predator attack that took the rest of her flock. Right now she is around 3 months old and is doing well especially since she now has some new friends.
This was my...
