They are cute,but they do look alittle small....you may have just type in the wrong age.

Here are my pekins at four months old,

Awww your Pekins are so good lookin! Makes me want some more. We have 3 and they are a real hoot to watch.

I was going to ask about the age too. Mine were all fully feathered by 5-6 weeks old and at 8 weeks old now....they are HUGE! And my 5 week old pekin boy is the same size as them and just about fully feathered....just a little fuzz left!

bahahaha! That's funny! Our 'call' is "hi babiessssss!" and then you here 11 females maaaap map map map all at once in response. And the 2 Pekins girls are THE loudest save for our 'sentinel' black runner who is very very loud and is the alarm of the group. But the girl Pekins - haha they are funny. The male Pekin Pip tries to shove his head at me sometimes (I assume push me around), it makes me giggle and he stares at me like...shoot that didn't work?

Is Huey really 4 months old? That just caught my attention...if he's really 4 months old he should be much much bigger. My Pekins are 11 weeks old - almost 3 months old and they are full sized.


These are my Pekins at 7 weeks old. Not even 2 months old. If Huey is really 4 months old (over 16 weeks old) then he is really tiny and lacking in feathers and looks malnourished. Is he sick? What is he eating?

Well i don't know his true age, that tell me the veterinarian

 

[LilyAshley11]

They are cuties! What feed are they getting? They may need some supplements if they are months old, not weeks old. Did you mistype their ages?

No that is they true age, they eat only broken corn

How long have you had them? I am worried about Huey especially. Pekins by 7 weeks old usually weigh over 8 pounds and are ready for butchering as meat ducks. By 3 weeks old Pekins are already bigger and more feathered than your sweet Huey. What kind of food are you feeding them? For the first 3 weeks my guys were on waterfowl starter- offered freely all day long. At 3 weeks old I was feeding them a lower protein feed called Flock Raiser- also offered freely all day long. At 10 weeks I started offering breakfast lunch and dinner since they are allowed to roam my yard eating all the yummy bugs they can find. I recall in another post you said one of them had eaten yarn and their food was only cracked corn? Did your duckie poop out all the yarn yet? Hope duckie is doing better!

They poop out the yarn. Only eat broken corn and chicken food
