The girls are very loud....VERY loud! But I love the pekins, they are my favorites

Aww, look...they <3 you!

(well, it's almost a heart anyway...the 'shape' between their heads/necks)

ETA: My pekins seem to be very skittish though, not quite as skittish as the runners, but much more so than the rouens.

I just got 2 female pekin ducklings from metzer farms. I have heard people say they are "Peckers", but mine LOVE to snuggle, and only give love nips. They are really nice dcuklings, and this is only day 3 and they already know i'm "Mama duck"!

Here are some pics of them on day 1, when they first arrived.

Aren't they just adorable?!?! I highly recommend them!
