I went to clean their pen and noticed 2 poops that looked like cous cous. I couldn’t find any other threads with poop that looks...

    Hi, there is a community trail near my house where there are two pekins and one mallard/pekin mix. Since I walk around there daily I tend to give them some corn, peas and other stuff Ive read on websites dedicated to feeding ducks. For the past few days, Ive noticed that when the swim over...

    12 week old duck has red irritated back with sparse feathers

    Hi all.... I got a call to rescue 10 week old Pekin ducks (supposedly both males) a couple of weeks ago. My friend agreed to take them. This is very new to us and we are slowly figuring things out. I noticed one of them had a small red spot the day I rescued them. I saw them over the weekend...

    Duck Seems to have Extreme Anxiety Weeks after Attack

    My two female ducks were attacked three weeks ago and both survived. They are fully healed and one seems to be back to normal. The other one seems to have extreme anxiety. She constantly quacks very loud and the quack sounds very stressed. She was very comfortable with me and people beforehand...

    Broken toe?

    Hello all, could use some help treating my duckie. Noticed that she was limping a few days ago and her left foot was swollen. Both feet had scabs on the underside so I started Epsom salt soaks with iodine, cleaning with vetricyn, and wrapping it up with ichtammol thinking she had bumble foot...

    My Duck has a cut on her beak!

    Hi there! I have three pekin ducks (ages 2mo, 1 mo, 1mo), and the largest one has what looks like a cut through multiple layers of her beak, as well as a bubble on the side. So far I have cleaned out the cut and applied Vetericyn, but I was wondering if anyone else has any ideas. She is drinking...

    All Pekin Drakes, No Hens

    The goal of getting ducks was for duck eggs, however our first sojourn into duck keeping has resulted in all four of our ducks being males. The farm store we picked them up from couldn't sex them, but thought they probably were picking females. We naively thought we could get 4 ducks and the...

    Pekin Ducks vs Ancona Ducks

    I have always had chickens, but a few months ago I took over 6 Pekin ducks for a friend who got them for Easter (I did not think people were still irresponsible enough to do that) and didn't know what to do with them once they grew substantially in just 3 weeks. Turns out I have 3 hens and 3...

    Leg problems!!!

    Pekin drake about 4 years old!!! I’m sure no one is shocked that’s he’s having leg problems. Our female is too. She limps and has her legs close together so she steps on her own feet. But the drake is my first priority because he is so bad! It started in spring and has just gotten worse until...

    Duck behavior

    Having heard from the internets that ducklings burrow into their mother’s plumage, my own Pekins have always nuzzled their wee lil bills into my plumage. I am currently holding my drake, Chowder, and he is doing this behavior as well as vibrating. Is this positive behavior for a happy and...

    BooBoo on Waddles’ bill

    Hey y’all! My Pekin, Waddles, has what looks like a little red injury on her Bill. Is this something to feel concerned about? Or will it heal on its own?

    Eye check

    Hey y’all ive been noticing around one of my 4-week old Pekin’s eye something new happening. I can’t tell if it’s normal for feather/down growth or if it’s something that needs to be seen by a medical professional. I will post photos of one eye from both my ducks for compare/contrast purposes.

    Is my Peking/Kaki Campbell Cross Sex linked?

    I bred my ducklings for the first time, and noticed that when I breed my Peking’s and Kaki Campbell together the ducklings had 2 different patterns. I was wondering could the mix be an auto-sex breed. The duckling with the spot was a hen an the one with the stripes was male . Here is them...
