Anyone else got any ducklings? This thread is for posting pictures and/or stories of our ducklings. Even if they aren’t ducklings anymore, you may still post about them.

Little pekins I have 6 1 week old pekins, four 1 week old brown khaki campbells, and 1 1 week old pekin muscovy.

Do they fight till death like roosters or do they do mini get-along fights or what?

I had three drakes and 6 females, the drakes had scuffles now and then, but come mating season, the problem we had wasnt weather the drakes would fight each other, but weather one of our drakezs would fight out male turkey.

Lol I can’t believe I haven’t told this story before! One day I put on my Bumblefoot jacket and went out side to pet my Pekin drake, Quakers. His full name is Quakers Le Great. So I let my female out and picked him up and set him on the picnic table and starting talking to him, because he truly listens to me. I asked him “How many male ducks do you want?” No response. So I told him “that’s understandable, I would want no drakes as well. They would be fighting me and I would constantly be on the lookout.” About 10 minutes later of non-stop talking, I came up with the question “how many females do you want?”. That, was such a good answer of his. He replied “Quaa, Quaa, Quaay, Quaa, Quaa, Quaa, Quaa, Quaay, Quaa, Quaa, Quaa, Quaa, Quaay, Quaa, Quaa” and, if you didn’t know, he speaks “qualish” and “Quaa” or “Quaay” means numbers. So if you said “Quaa” fifteen times, like he said, he said he wanted fifteen females.

My muscovy male, and my male turkey picked a fight with each other, let's just say the muscovy lost, and had a good portion of his face growth removed. He was in bad pretty bad condition when.I found him that morning, due to shock and probably blood loss. He was alert but didnt really run from me like usual. So we had to play duck vet for a few days before he could go out again. We kept him separate this.time, but a few days later, they somehow ended up together again, and the turkey removed the scab. Had to play vet again. And now lets let's say turkey was culled due to risk with our other drakes and rooster. Our current animals are perfectly happy now
