Pekin Duck Club!

[Julie Birb]

Looking forward to getting to know you guys and your duckies Just entered the new realm of raising ducks- we picked up three Pekin ducklings this weekend and they are every bit as adorable and fun as I hoped they would be. Can't wait to get started on building their coop, but for now, they are quite content in a cage in our living room. Two of them hatched on Sunday May 24th, and the other 3 days earlier. We haven't named them yet, but the oldest of the three we refer to as 'Biggy' because s/he's so much bigger than the other two. We'll settle on names a little later once their personalities start to shine through. If you spend enough time with them, is it easy to distinguish who is who once they are grown? Here's the babies yesterday-

Weebeep. The faces. I can't breathe...

@Julie Bird - keep breathing, Sunshine!

@CarterCrazy - Welcome to BYC! Thanks for sharing your pics. Enjoy those small fuzzy faces while you can. It's absolutely crazy how fast they grow. I have 2 Pekins that are 5 weeks old tomorrow. The only reason I can easily tell mine apart is because one is crested.

Thanks, Deb It IS crazy how quickly they grow. The one that is three days older dwarfs the other two, LOL! I'm so fortunate to work from home. I get to sit here and enjoy their cuteness all day

ADORABLE! Watch out for hawks in that big yard, especially until they're fully grown. As far as telling them apart, I can tell Merry and Pippin apart, even though everyone else thinks they're identical. They have markings though, and their markings look similar to people who don't know them, but they are indeed different. Pekins might be REALLY hard to tell apart!

Awe, they are so cute in their little row! They are so much fun! The more time you spend with them the more you will know who is who when they are older. My two were pretty much the same size but after spending a lot of time with them I could tell them apart pretty easily and still can just on personality alone. Have fun with them and don't blink... They grow so fast!

Look at them go! So cute! My babies, almost all grown up. Not Pekins of course, but I got invested in this group before I knew, haha!

You are so welcome.  They are very cute.  After seeing breed they were I went online and looked at them.  They are beautiful adults and cute too.  Even full grown they look super cuddly and soft.  Hopefully you will be able to pet them.  Eeeeee, "webbed waddling" is fun.  

I hope to be able to pet them too. So far they are little snuggle bugs with BIG personality!
