Pekin Duck Club!

[jenniferlaustin]

New to the forum. I have 2 pekin ducks. Pop and Tart. They are not shy whatsoever. They like to harass the goats.

My house is usually about 70 degrees. Can you incubate eggs after theyve been in the fridge?

I too feel victim to TSC last year. I got 6 ducklings. I always wanted one but my mom always told me no. Showed her I actually got really lucky and ended up with 3 boys and 3 girls. I know that's notthe best ratio but for straight run its not bad. I ended up losing a male (Alan) to a predator during day light hours. They free range but still. Then this winter my leader of them all a once Mr. Quakers who became a Mrs. lol ended up freezing to death on some ice. So I'm down to 2 males and 2 females. I have 15 ducklings now but they stay inside as it is still very much winter here. However my female Chloe and my 2 males Aflac and Goose are mean to my other female Cheese. Cheese is smaller than the other ducks so I'm not sure if that's why they are being mean to her or not. They chaseher away whenever she gets too close or if they get close to her. I feel sooo bad for the lady. The free range during the day so at least she has plenty of places to go but when they are in their house at night she only has one hiding place. Its weird because they do this to her off and on. I was getting eggs from her and now it has stopped again. Really unsure as to what to do. I plan on getting a few more females but other than that I don't know. I'm not even sure if that will stop her from being picked on.

How long does it take for a pekin to feather out? I have 2 that are about 2m old & still aren't feathered out. They're so messy, but they're still lil fluff balls & I'm just wandering how much longer before they can go outside?
