Pekin Duck Club!

[Amiga]

Does anyones Pekin ducks have what seems to be a seizure? Our one keeps shaking its head towards the ground and then it suddenly stops. Not sure what it is or what to do but it makes me so upset to watch him freak out like that!

How old is the duck? What is the food? Water with food 24/7? Do you have a video? Temperature in the brooder?

He is about 4-5 weeks old. He is on Dumor chick starter/grower. He has water available 24/7. Today we just put them in a bigger pent outback with their lamp. The temp is cool but not too cold or too hot. We live in PA. I am so scared and i dont know what to do. I read online to give medicine but idk what kind!

I am new to this forum and I have two Pekin ducks. If I can figure out how to post a picture, I would love some help deciding how old they might be. My guess is 3 to 4 weeks old.

Their names are Puddles and Waddles. Thank you in advance for your help. I just need to figure out how old they might be. We're starting to acclimate to the outdoors and I'm afraid of it being too cold.

How long has it been going on? I live in Erie PA and got a bad bag of food this week and had 23 chicks/ducklings start to seize

They actually have more feathers since I took this a day and a few hours ago! Puddles and Waddles. They have been so sweet, although they tend to run from us even though we have spent a lot of time with them.

@chcknwhisperer they look to be around 3 weeks old. So at that age they need to be kept at temps between 72-75* no cool air blowing over them. They need to be fully feathered to stay out all the time if your temps outside aren't that warm Short trips when sunny and windless would be fine. Until they are fully feathered they are more apt to chill.

Welcome to BYC! adorable lil book ends you have there.

Hey so I picked up Rose and she is definitely a Jumbo Peking. Chatty and Kathy are a little smaller and shorter than her. They are just under a year I believe so they should be at full hight right? They are the same size as my 9 month old Muscovy drake but hes kinda small. Trying to get a pic of them all together but Rose is to busy checking out yard with C & K. Trying to figure out if I have 3 jumbos or 1.

Rose is on the right.

I have an idea take them inside and put each one on your scale to see their weightslol. Because there is weights for reg and jumbo.. They all look to be pretty good size girls, so cute.
