Phew! You’re definitely saving yourself there!

Good advice by @HuffleClaw , and @SolarDuck .

The BYC duck stickies are a great source for any duck-related information.

Due to their heavyweight Pekins are increasingly predisposed to developing leg related problems. Ensuring they are on a diet formulated for all poultry, or for waterfowl specifically is important, as well as focusing on providing soft housing substrate.

I missed that they were pekins. I absolutely agree, they will definitely need room to stretch those legs and soft bedding of some sort. A kiddie pool for them would also be great.

At night when I put my ducks to bed..I always made sure they got a good drink of water then I put them to bed. I didn't have food or water in with them after I put them away for the night. Made sure they had it right away in morning, they weren't without more then 8 hours without and they were fine. Make sure water source is deep enough to dunk there heads, that's important. No food if a water source is not really available as they could choke. Having ducks are a joy but they do make you work for there trust.. Hehe.

we put them out in the rabbit pen a little bit ago and filled the rabbits kiddie pool aka digging box with water they don't care for the weather they love the water and we don't know the last time they got to be in that much water
