Duckling Thread!

Awww, thank you so much for the concern. I should've been more clear....he didn't pass away. Just became a teeny drake, that's all.



Here you go! Wasn't any larger than the only hen in the group.

Surprisingly, yes, 6 drakes to 1 female worked out great. She kept them in line, and switched "husbands" daily. Each day brought a new favorite. Now, all she has to choose from is the Indie.

she has the magic touchthat is crazy...... I have 5 hens and only 2 drakes and those two are given one of my pekins(queen) a hard time. The back of her neck is raw and no hair. I've just cleaned/wash the back of her neck and put neosporin on it. After it dried I put some pets liquid bandage on her neck, it has a bad taste to it so it keeps them off of her for a day and then I have to put the drakes back in the pin so she can play in the pond with no one bothering her I don't know what else to do.
