She's got a sweet little face your Pekin!

Fingers crossed on both thoughts 😊. Thanks!

A lot of good suggestions. It sounds like you've got a sweet unique relationship with your duck. I suppose most do when it comes to that. Our ducks have bonded with us, but I would say they've imprinted on each other. They cuddle together a lot. And boy, I have to be very careful around them...

Yay! There's hope! I think in their own way they're close to us. If I sit on the ground and let them do their own thing they'll crawl up on me a little, get in my face, always looking for a hat string, or pant strings to pull on. If I reach out to pet them they back up, so I'm happy to accept...

Yes someone suggested that to me once before. Maybe it was you 😊. I've been trying to come up with solutions while still waiting to see if I get anymore females to start quacking. But I fear the newest sound I'm hearing is not a girl. I'm not certain yet. Not that it'll help, it would be 3:3...

Hi, thanks for the info! I'm copying my reply to Duck mommy. I don't know if you saw this or if you might knows the answers to some of my questions: I actually know about the genetic issue. So I decided not to have them mate at all. No babies. I want to know though, how long are they inheat...

Thanks for you response. I actually know about the genetic issue. So I decided not to have them mate at all. No babies. I want to know though, how long are they inheat? Can I tell? And if they stay close to home, as they do now where I can watch them, is separating them at night enough? Right...

Hi there, I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a good site or book to learn more about this breed. I have 6 that are 13 weeks old, and I'm pretty sure I'm not going to end up with a good ratio of male female. But I dread the thought of parting with any. So I'd like to research their mating...
