Pekin Duck Club!

[Miss Lydia]

I have two ducks a male and a female. so, my male duck is all lonely its kinda sad because she partner in crime is nesting. I also have two geese but my female goose is the bully of all my pets. In the morning when I'm drinking my cup of joe I love to see them swim in the little pond my dad and I made for them.

@alexa32 Welcome to BYC beautiful birds you have there. lovely pond too. Did you know you can clip those flight feathers on your goose with angel wing? that way they won't get caught on things. If interested we have a good diagram on how to clip. Also we have a member who actually fixed angel wing in one of her geese by waiting till molt and wrapping when flight feathers started coming back in. Just thought I'd share.

As far as I know a khaki Campbell, got him from TSC end of April.tried to hatch some of the khaki eggs but the chick kicked them all over the place and I think they died

Someone told me that giant Pekins are cream color. But she doesn't look any larger than the others. So I'm not sure.

How do you sex Pekin ducks?

How do you sex Pekin ducks?

The same way you sex other ducks (except muscovies) You can tell by the voice a little earlier than the Drake feather but that's about it. A Drake sounds hoarse while a hen will be high pitched.

How do you tell by the feathers?

 

[dan26552]

About the time they hit sexual maturity (so about 6 months give or take) a feather or several will curl near the end of the tail.

This and the voice should work for all mallard derived breeds, it won't work for muscovys becuase 1. They aren't mallard derived so they don't have the sex feather and 2. They don't quack, they hiss.
