Even with starting out so dark? Will she continue to get more white the older she gets? What is the likelihood of her going broody? She’s got a big nest made but isn’t sitting on it yet… my prior ducks would have started sitting on it by now. Here’s a few more pics of her
Any thoughts as to what this duck is?? The first picture is when I got her 2 years ago, the dark gray one. She came from TSC but I got her around 1 yr old, they said she was a blue runner. The second picture is recent and she looks much more like a silver welsh harlequin and doesn’t have the...
Got these two girls at TS yesterday the bin said buff orpingtons but their color is so different I was curious if one is something else. One looks white and one buff to me but I've never had BOs before either.
Yes, neither of them seemed to have any issues after the episodes. The pekin was on pain meds for bumble so we stopped them (after talking to the vet) and gave her some more time in the clean pool. The welsh did it maybe twice that we saw and she was fine afterwards. Check to make sure she isn't...
If it isn't because he is unsuccessful why does he not tear up his mallard female mate? Her neck is just fine not a feather out of place unless our pekin mix tries to get her. Also this is not new to mating season, it is year round he has them tore up. He had our welsh girl featherless on her...
My mallard drake is tearing up the necks of my pekin ladies... he is too little to get the job done so he is over aggressive with them. Our pekin mix drake does a decent job of keeping him away during the day but he has to be locked separate at night to keep from killing our mallard female. We...
We've had a few females do this. Not sure the cause but the most recent was a pekin who was on antibiotics and pain meds for bumble and we decided it was due to dehydration for the most part and she was struggling to have proper BMs. Our welsh that did it a few times I'm not sure why she did it...
I've been treating one of my pekins with bumble that was pretty bad with vet help and she said to keep pressure off the area so we have cut a sponge to have a hole in the center and keeps her webs pretty open. Also if you are using vet wrap as long as it isn't tooo tight the vet wrap will...
This is a repeated thread I'm sure, but I'm not sure what to do!
My pekin/WH mix drake has gotten progressively more aggressive over the past 2(ish) months. He is 7 months old. He has already drowned his mother (WH) (we are 90% sure he was the culprit judging by how he mates the pekins) and...
:hit I found my welsh harlequin girl floating dead in the pool this morning :hit:hit:hit:hit I'm heart broken she's was my favorite (don't tell the others) :hit
Ok so more research she is def not a white layer, they are only supposed to get up to 5lbs. and have a pinkish bill, she is larger than that with a very orange bill. So maybe a pekin hybrid...
Oh they definitely do! I wish our pen was big enough for more!! And she could be a white layer, it is hard to find a pic of one that isn't just a pekin.
