My tape went out on the recorder. These is upsetting. We have a blank tape. But I need another solution. To record it. I can't use anymore data charges. Any solutions.it has to be what's in the house.we water tested all the eggs in incubator . 6 sank the rest where Floated to the top. Have not candled them yet. Can not find a solution to storage.
 
Hello, new duck owner here. I bought 2 Pekins from TSC they looked a little lost so they ended up with 4 more buddies. None have names yet we just call them The Crazy Gang. I have a feeling I have 4 drakes and 2 girls which will probably mean the girls will live with the chickens and the boys will have their own club, hope this doesn't cause too many issues.

Today is duckhouse building day, They are only 3 weeks old but we are preparing to transition them from their brooder (a 100 gallon stock tank) to a playpen in the garage. They will still have a heat lamp but the tank is getting a little tight for 6 rapidly growing peeps.

more to come from the Crazy Gang saga .......
 
What are good traits about Peking ducks? I have four Swedish ducks already and am loving ducks. I am thinking of adding the mighty Peking what can I expect?

I love the Pekin, they are friendly, will talk to you as long as you talk to them. I think the Pekin have lots more personality than the Swedish (I have 2 black Swedish, 8 weeks old). If I get more ducks, it will be Pekins. I much prefer the personality plus of the bird!

Good luck!
 
Have a question our ducks are 2 weeks and 4 days old but they still seem like they are kind of afraid of us they seem really skittish especially when we try to pick them up we spend a lot of time with them Are we possibly doing something wrong? I don't want them to be afraid and run from us like they due please help with any kind of advice thank you.

[VIDEO][/VIDEO]Need alittle help. I have a 11 week old Pekin. I have noticed when it gets stressed (like heading into coop for the night) it looses strength. Legs get real weak and then layers down for a minute. Then is ok and goes on. They get fed All Flock pellets and nutritional yeast. Any ideas??
Thanks. Linda

I really dislike spell check
