This is Sunny, my 4 month old Pekin DRAKE

Breed: Pekin
Name: Sunshine (Sunny)
age: 4 months old
how many females: currently none for him, but I do have others with other drakes.

and you can add something intresting about them if you want - Sunny is still YELLOW even though he is fully grown. He lives in the house most of the time, but is slowly being introduced to living outside with the other Pekins (his moms and dad). Because he lives in the house, he is still mostly yellow. As he is exposed to the sun more, he will eventually turn white. For now though I love his coloring. I wish he could stay that way.

Sunny was hatched in an incubator at an elementary school (from my duck eggs). He hatched four days early and was the only one that hatched out of two dozen eggs. The incubator had serious problems with temp and humidity. It is a miracle that Sunny hatched and survived. He came home with me and lived in a brooder for a few weeks, then graduated to an enormous wire dog crate. I started taking him outside for a few hours at a time, but he mostly lived in the house, as he was used to air condition and I didn't want to put him outside in the 100+ degree heat of our lovely Florida summer. Now that it has been a little bit cooler, he is spending more time outdoors with his family. Soon, he will be a totally outdoor duck. For now, he still lives in the house part time.

When Sunny was less than a month old, he traveled to school several times and visited children's classes with me. He went to 2nd grade, kindergarten, and pre-school. The children loved holding and petting him as they asked all kinds of questions and learned about ducks. Sunny was a wonderful role model and taught the kids alot!! He loved it too.

Our 5 month old Mallard Larry keeps company with his girlie girl Sherry....who, but the way flirts continuously with him because he's such a handsome devil!

He is very protective of her. Especially when one of our curious chickens come poking around.

I'm so glad Larry & Sherry are a part of our family....they've given us many hours of enjoyment and are VERY entertaining!
