yes honking means girl! my baby is a girl she's 9 weeks now and fully feathered I think the drake feather wouldn't even show until about 10 or 11 weeks though. did you Google the sounds of female and male differences they have something on you tube that helps and a site where the girl sounds...
how is your duckies beak doing? has it healed? my marceline had a little cut on her beak about a week ago and it healed with in a day I just made sure the water she drank from was completely clean (I had to change it more often than normal)
I can't remember if it's in the duck thread or the pekin duck thread but there has been a lot of talk about duck diapers. There are even some tips on hand making them :)
Aweh :( I'm so sorry. My pekin would start to do that too. Sometimes it was after I'd left her for an hour or two and came back to cuddle it seemed like she was mad haha but I always pet her beak and when she bites hard I pet her beak gently and say be nice and she loves her chest and neck...
That is an awesome set up! Right now I have a pedialyte bottle that I cleaned out thoroughly laying on its side in a plastic (what looks like) pencil holder with all the slits on the sides something that would organize either office or bathroom stuff maybe? And 2 little food dishes in another...
