re-home Pekin Drake & Khaki Campbell Hen

[Halizabeth]

almost 11 weeks old, raised together Pekin Drake and Khaki Campbell hen. I don't know the best way to do this, but I am starting to panic about my ability to care for them properly so I will start here and also ask a friend that has a better setting than I do and has expressed interest in ducks after seeing mine. I am in Southeast Pa.

Nooo!!! I’ve been following your posts - you spent so much time building a great pen for them. Don’t give up yet! You’ll be fine. Pekin Drake’s are just weird but you can still enjoy him and your KC!

Awe. It has got to be a tough decision for sure. I think the duckling stage is the hardest and you have gotten past that. I think your drake is just testing you as he's just now getting to that age. But, whatever you decide is what is best for your situation.

So true. And I should have said I’m so sorry that you have to make this decision.

I am so sorry you feel this way @Halizabeth drakes can be a challenge but can also be a joy we just have to teach them how to behave. But I sure understand and respect your decision. Hopefully it will work out with @Thunderduck9

I felt a little overwhelmed when I got my 2 adult pekins. I adopted them from a shelter and felt (and still feel) a strong obligation to take great care of them. I used to obsess about every little detail. Is he limping, is this the right food etc. This forum has been invaluable. I now realize they are relatively easy to care for, and are happier than I thought. Mine are fighting like cats and dogs if unsupervised, so when they're alone they're seperated but can see each other. It's not ideal but it buys me time until I can figure our how to proceed. I think you're doing very well. But if you need to rehome it's your decision. Thunder duck is interested, and in a pinch I could take them, so you have options and we are here to help!

I think your original post was just fine.
