Pekin Duck Club!

[CayugaJana]

My pekin hen has a waddle always has since we got her about a month ago but it has got worse and she is barley walking at all. What could be the problem she kinda seems like she had spraddle leg as a duckling but we didn’t get her till she was 7 months old

Couple questions:
Does she have any swelling in the joints? Is her leg hot compared to the rest of her skin! Any scabs? What do you feed her?

I haven't found a club yet so I figured I would start my own! Pekin duck owners unite! Please feel free to share stories, pictures, breed information and most of all, have fun chatting with others about the comical, chatty and beautiful Pekin Duck!

My beautiful pekin, Soleil <3

She is beautiful! I have four.

How do you guys tell the difference between your Pekins if you have more than one? Because I’m just calling them “hey, you” and I feel like a bad duck mom.

I call all four of mine Duck Duck..I know real original!

I need help! I have a 4month old Pekin who has some walking issues, she wattles a few feet and falls down, she has to use her wings to help her stand, she sits most of the time. Today I found she has a bloody vent, the chicks have been pecking at it. I have her separated but I don't know how to treat her wound. Or how to determine what is wrong with her leg. I will try to get a video of her wattle tomorrow.
