Pekin Duck Club!

[countrygirl74]

So any not so loud breeds of duck you would recommend?

I hear Muscovies (Muscovy) are very quiet...

I think you must mean loud?. ha ha I guess the girls are. Mine are boys, they just barely quack above a whisper. Want some boys? !
I was hoping for girls! I can't say to much, these are my 1st. Looking at gettin some?

Gotta wait and see if I do have one boy in my bunch, but if not I definitely do want one Pekin boy! So I might come back to u bout that if u still have them
When does the drake feather usually make an appearance? (Meaning bout what age it starts showing?)

I looked you UP!! Your way to far from me to make that offer serious! ;(

Mine are a little over 10 weeks and that feather isn't there but it's coming. You planning a vacation here??!?

Pekins are really load from what I hear. Is this true?

Our Pekin, Butter is super talkative and loud in the morning when she gets released from the coop. It is like she has to announce to the world that she has arrived

After that she is not as noisy. We have discovered that our Buff ducks are noisy all the time.

Muscovies are super quiet. They do not quack but kinda meep instead very quietly. The only time ours gets where you can hear them is when the are "barking" at us to leave them on the nest as they are broody right now.

Lovely pic's of some really cute ducks/Chic's!
I've not had a good morning to talk w/ you all. When I went up to let the girls out to roam I found I had lost my avatar! She was an Americana just 1 1/2yrs old. My son thinks its one of my girls but I don't think so CZ my heart says no but... Her butt and up her stomach was opened up w/ no organs. I think weasel. I'll try hanging my sons nite recorder and xmas lights. She was 1 of2 of my most favorite girls. If it's one of the girls it has to be the Rhodie's. This past winter was the first time I had to put aprons on. Last spring I got them. Their great layers, haven't missed a day since they started. But there selfish.

Would love to travel to u and pick up a guy or two (that just sounds wrong lol) but will have to see as time goes by a bit. Maybe I'm lucky and someone from here travels my directions, who knows?! Mine are a little over 10 weeks and that feather isn't there but it's coming. You planning a vacation here??!?
