My Runner in my profile pic is my Pekins husband. They are a funny couple. I have a creek right below my house-so I got them to follow me. My Pekin limps and takes forever. I started carrying her-husband right at my heals. So look what I got for our short stroll to the water.

So they love to go "swimming" I swear they know what that means and they get all excited. Everyday I set them in the stroller and they get a few snacks And tell them swimming. LOL. I'm working on our first ride.

My two Pekin girls will be a year in June and have been laying an egg a day for the most part since about September

That’s so sweet! So you don’t let them be at the creek by themselves because of predators an you ducks limping?

[Miss Lydia]

my 4 year-old Pekin has only ever laid eggs once in a while. She seems healthy-but she does limp and has a lot the moldy looking spots on her bill. She is VERY spoiled and has a GREAT husband that watches over her-I'm almost jealous LOL. When she does lay an egg it's got a soft shell. I feed them all-flock,scratch, a sprinkle of oyster shell along with any kitchen scaps I have. I really try to give them fresh greens too. Is there some kind of disorder that causes egg problems?
