Hello, I reciently purchased a 1 month old Pekin duck and she is very scared and runs away from me. She will sit in my lap but she gapes her mouth and whenever she is put down she runs away when I approuch her.
Can anyone tell me how to gain my pets trust????
Does anyone know where I can purchase a few pekin ducks in Tennessee, I've checked the local classifieds and there is nothing of use, and i'm having trouble finding a waterfowl hatchery near knoxville.
okay so my new duckling is about 16 hours old and I'm wondering (for future refrence) how do I teach the duckling to eat and drink. He seems to peck at the food and water, but he never swallows it?
Any advice?
I'm not sure how long it takes a duckling to learn to walk, my duckling hatched about twelve hours ago and he just kind of hops and wobbles around, does anyone know how long t takes for a duckling to learn to walk?
And is it possible for a duckling to be born spray leg?

Can anyone tell me how long I should wait?

What I can see:
Air cell is enlarged and there are large dark veins that I can see as well as there is a large...
Hello I was wondering when to first feed new born ducklings, because i heard that since they have the egg nutrition inside them you don't feed them till the next day. Is that right?
I'm wondering if my duck eggs are quitters because although they are moving inside and there are blood vessels, i can't really tell if they are growing or not. They are on day 9 or 10 and all i can see is two small darker spots in the middle that move back and forth.
well it's like, inside the bubble there are no or very few veins, all the veins seem to be attached to the outside of the bubble and the only thing one the inside seems to be the embreo.
