Pekin Duck Club!

[DenverDucky]

That may be it. I probably won't be getting more ducks any time this year. My parents are already building me a new coop and getting me 10 chicks in the Spring. I don't want to push it

For now I will just look at the photo's of everyone else's beautiful duckies!

You're more than welcome to join us

So I candled the eggs last night and I know its early but I dont see anything but yolk in the pekin eggs. I did however see development in the mallard eggs. My mallard eggs are mixed with my pekin/rouen mix male So its will be a total surprise as to what they turn out to look like. Oh and I got my quail eggs set in there with them yestarday I'm gonna give the pekin eggs a few more days to positive before I toss them.

Question for you all with adult Pekins. What do your eggs look like?

I started getting eggs from my yard birds a few days ago and this is their first (almost) spring. I'm not sure if it's all chicken right now or if my duck has started laying as well. 1 each of the last two days, but two the first day. The eggs are the same color and almost the same size.

It's not really important.. I'm just curious/nosey. lol

Soleil's first few eggs were chicken egg sized and then they got really big.

Hah ducks are way smarter than people give them credit for. Chickens too! A lot of animal trainers start with training poultry. If my duck could speak she would let everyone know its me getting trained... To give her treats  

So how did you come to find Amelia and Gladys? They are so beautiful

Funny you should ask, we thought Amelia was a boy and named him Emelio. When she started laying eggs we changed it to Amelia! We just thought Gladys sounded like a good name for a duck. Raining all day on and off. Muddy, cold, miserable. Duck heaven for those too.

Po's first egg was smaller like a chicken egg but thicker shell. Here is a pic of the eggs I got this morning.
