I am so sorry. I have my first flock and had no idea what I was in for as far as getting attached. It's so hard. I lost my favorite girl at the beginning of the week. She passed away in the middle of the night and we don't know why. Your girl is so beautiful. I'm very sorry for your loss.

I guess we will just have to build a bigger run and only let them out to free roam when we or our dogs are out there. I'm considering getting a big farm dog. My dogs won't stay out if we aren't out there They will sit at the door and cry, the big babies. What kind of dogs did you get?

This afternoon I had my 12 hens and 3 ducks out free ranging in our fenced in yard. I had not checked on them for about an hour. The ducks were making all kinds of noise so I went out on the porch to find out what they were doing. There was a fox on the outside of our fence peering in. I was...

I have a big huge boy Rottweiler who loves my chickens and is scared to death of my 3 Pekin Ducks I also have a golden retreiver that ignores them and a German Shepherd/Rottie x that gives them a quick chase and ignores after that. I have a Rottie girl that can't be around any small animals...

thank you all for your help. I have a question about pulling the quill. I already pulled it but I don't know if I did it correctly or not. It was really short and bloody. On one end there was what looked like a tiny feather sticking out. On the end I pulled from the skin there was what...

It seems as though the bleeding has stopped. Should I still pull the quill? I did find a vet that can see her but not until tomorrow (the vet wasn't in but the receptionsit set up and appt). I'm not sure what the best thing to do is. I don't want to go out and find out that she died in the...

Ack!! I do have the kwik stop. My husband is on his way home and will be here by 5 so one of us can hold her and the other can work on her. The bleeding looks like it has stopped though at this point. I think the swimming water was making it worse. If the bleeding has stopped should I still...

I don't have any pictures so I'm putting a link to a thread that has pictures which kind of look like my problem. My pekin girl, Daisy, is bleeding from her wing, she is about 4 months old. I pulled the feathers apart and it looks like it's coming from where a feather used to be but it broken...

Thank you everyone for your comments. One more question: Do I need a drake? When I placed my order this morning for some reason I changed my mind to 3 girls. However, the woman told me I could call back anytime this week if I decide I would like more. I've been doing so much research on the...

Hi there, Forgive me if I sound like a moron but I'm completely new to raising ducks and looking for help and advice. I don't have any ducks yet but trying to determine what breed and how many is a good starting point. I love the Pekin as my great-grandparents used to have these on their farm...
