    Introduction

    Howdy hey. My name is Jamie and I don’t actually have chickens (yet) but instead a Pekin duckling! After getting him I had a lot of questions and most were answered on this forum so thought I would join. (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? Very much new, found this...

    Help identifying my pretty lady duck!

    Howdy! I’ve had these two ducks for about 6 weeks now, they were both purchased from TS. My boy is without a doubt a Pekin and I’ve assumed my girl is a runner, but am unsure considering these are my first duckies! She doesn’t seem to walk/run super upright like adult runners I’ve seen in videos...

    I have 12 four week old chicks with 2 four week Pekin’s that get along great since the start. But today I received 2 day old Ancona ducks!

    Hi there, Me again, with the pekin ducks that mysteriously cannot walk. My two year old girl is now struggling to walk.

    Premature pekin ducks mating

    So, we bought two pekin ducklings a few months back, and they’re almost four months old now. One is a female and the other is a male. We saw them mate two days ago (we think it was the first time) and they’ve mated two more times after that. I’ve heard that most ducks start mating at around 5...

    My drake got into a fight and had his eyelid pulled. Will it heal okay with terramycin or is there anything I can do right now for him?

    Spotted on Reddit and Need Identification

    Someone posted the picture below on Reddit, asking if they should try to catch the Pekin in the photo, as it is clearly not going to fare well in the wild. The obviously answer is yes, but I’m questioning the drake in the background. If the white one is truly a Pekin, that would make the other...

    Another bumblefoot question

    Hi, I have combed the discussion boards but I haven’t seen a post with a spot like this. My 10-month old Pekin has a spot like this in the middle of both her feet. My thought is that it’s bumblefoot but it’s not swollen, she doesn’t limp and there’s no black dot. I haven’t had ducks before so...

    Can I add a male Sebastopol goose with a Male Peking duck and 4 female Peking ducks?

    I have one male Peking and one female Peking. Thought I had two girls. Oops! I placed an order for more 3 more girl ducks for obvious reasons. I added a male Sebastopol goose to my order. Am I just shooting myself in the foot again? Will the male goose have a problem being around female ducks.

    Limping Duck

    My almost 3 month old Pekin duck is limping. She used to have problems with this one leg when she was younger but It got better when I gave her more niacin. The leg has never been straight but it has started bugging her again. I need help I don’t know what else to do.
