Important!!!! So sometimes my pekins eyes get bloodshot. It's random not all the time but still worries me. When he's outside he's gated off and I clean him daily so I don't think it's any disease. Any ideas? Help! Also he's only a month and a half old and now all white so is it normal he still picks at his feather and alot come out? I think they are still growing in but idk

I think Mrs. Susie might be the Gunter. Haha my biggest one turned out to be a boy.

Nope. I vent sexed them and only Gunter has a wormy and a darker voice (getting there). He is also the most quiet one while Susie is beep/honking a background noise all day long.

Nibbler surveying the new pool... Did he jump in? Yes.

Great pic and wonderful pond! We only got an underwater gravel pit right now that will probably disappear with the warmer weather coming . And the rest is grass, woods and raspberry jungle. Lol

How young can u sex them.

U just google it or u go to Meyer hatchery site and they have a YouTube video that shows u how to do it. It takes a bit of practice with those fighting and protesting duckies but u'll get the hang of it.
According to that method I should have all females and only one drake. Also I got Susie as a "leftover" duckling at the feed store from their previous delivery. That's why she is bigger. Couldn't resist taking that sole big one with me...

Have you tries google yet? Never heard of a duck with bloodshot eyes. Just don't give it too much alcohol and it should stop . Jk.
Is he the only duck u have?

If Ur desperate need for girlies is overtaking Ur rational thinking (giggle) then maybe u should order some sexed ones from a hatchery. Or try Craigslist in Ur area?

Haven't figured out yet how to sort the dang rehoming thread on here but maybe that's a possibility too?!
