Welcome to the club! Are all your ducks Pekin? I would love to have a flock of ducks, just not where I'm living at now haha

I have a question about the safety of "Flying" my duck. I have done it with her since she was young and she seems to love it. I lift her by placing my palms under her wings as I lift her. I then walk her around the yard as she flys.

Thanks
Randall

you are her owner ... but me personally 1. i'd be worried about the stress your putting on her wing joints if not held properly- not saying you arent! - just saying . Pekins arent ment to fly . yes they flap them and open them but "flying" them around? what if you slip and fall? or she spooks ? she falls and breaks her wing or leg ?..... IMO thats not worth it ... and 2.. if your asking about the safety my guess is you already dont think it is . but like i said you are her owner do what you think is best for you both .
