Thank you I am glad I asked I figured 3 months was full grown and didn't think about being mature.

Okay thank you. I am new to this. Roughly what age do they start laying?

What age would they be able to be together at? They have been in the run separated by a fence I just want to get it opened up so they all have more room. The drakes are about 2 months older than the 3 month old runner girls. The other 2 Pekins hens are about a year or so old.

Quick question. I feed purina flock raiser, the guy at the feed store said it is good for the ducks whole life. I have oyster shell on the side for the girls. Is this okay or do they need something different? Also my runner girls are 12 weeks now do you think they are ready to go in with my...

Thanks. I just found some in falcon I'm headed to pick up.

Can you tell me where you found yours. I'm south of you a bit but I need a couple females to add to my flock.

There is going to be a critter swap at the Bir R in Pueblo West this Saturday you might find one there.

Got my 4 runners from Metzer last Wednesday one of each fawn and white, chocolate, blue, and black. So cute they are great. All female to go with my 2 male Pekins later.

Thank you both for the input. Maybe I'll bring them in at night the first few nights since we may be getting thunder storms. Lows in the 50s by the end of the week. I love my ducks but it's time to go outside. Too much stink and tiny feathers floating around the house!

Quick question! I have 2 Pekins about 7 weeks and a couple days old. I finished their outdoor house/run. The lowest night time temp this week is in the lower 40s. Are they ready for that yet?? They look fully feathered to me but these are my first ducks so I could be wrong.

I did not know that. I'm north of the highway and zoned agricultural so hopefully I won't have any problems having them. Thank you.

Tha Thank you. I guess that's one way to know for sure lol.

Darn I was hoping they would quack or something soon to help me know lol. Oh well I guess I'll wait and see!

Right now I have 2 Pekin's that are 6 weeks old. I am getting 4 runners on May 10th.

O okay I will definitely wait until they are full grown. I was just worried about the size difference. I'm not even sure if the Pekins are males yet. I'm guessing at least one will be. Hopefully they will start making new noises soon so I can try to tell. Thanks for the response.

Hello everyone! Joined BYC a few weeks ago and live in Pueblo West CO. I have ducks not chickens. Any other duck owners around?

Cross posted didn't get any opinions on the other thread. I have a question for you all. I just ordered 4 runner hens from metzer. I will get them May 10th. I have 2 Pekin that will be 6 weeks old on Friday. So they will be about 7.5 weeks old when the runners are hatched. How long do I need...

I have a question for you all. I just ordered 4 runner hens from metzer. I will get them May 10th. I have 2 Pekin that will be 6 weeks old on Friday. So they will be about 7.5 weeks old when the runners are born. How long do I need to wait before the all go together. And if the Pekins turn out...

Thank you for the input. There are a lot of differing opinions on this site. I wanted to hear from someone who has ducks instead of chickens.

Sooo fast these are my first ducks. I swear from the time I'd go to work until the time I'd get home they were visibly bigger some days!
