Unknown cause of duck death
One of my hens died last night. She was not killed by an animal. I've had 15 ducks for about a year. They are a few different breeds but were mostly raised together and they all get along.

Emergency - Pekin duck not getting better
My pekin is going to be a year old in April. I got her when I was in college because we would eat a lot of eggs. When she was about a month old we noticed she wasn't using her leg.

Do ducks have heart attacks??
I know. I imagine all living critters can. But...dang! I think one of my Pekins did! They were all happy in the pool. Doing their normal things. I watch them close because sometimes things get kinda rough. But nothing crazy yesterday. I ushered them out so the little ducks could have their... -

Sad pekin drake
We had two pekins we raised from babies, one hen, Snoopy, and one drake, Gloopy (named by our 3 year old son). Snoopy met a terrible end a few nights ago from a predator, it was a hard loss, really awful attack. Gloopy has been so depressed and shaken almost since then. We've fixed the issue...
