mostly just their legs, and if you really stay on top of it from the very start it can be managed. A lot of people's problems come from not knowing Pekins have these issues and not realizing until they're older, or picking up birds that werent cared for by someone else from the beginning and theres only so much correction you can do once a problem like bowed or twisted legs has set in. Trying to constantly play catch-up with old issues is certainly different than mitigating the issues from the beginning.I am in vet med but gosh darn I don't want any health scares. Is it just their feet and legs that seem to be the problem? Or are there more issues (not including feeding deficiencies)
A lot of people prefer to free-feed and the lighterweight breeds do okay with it, but Pekins will just gorge themselves so once theyre out of their duckling stage you might want to get them on an actual schedule, and just make sure they get a lot of exercise to keep the weight down and the legs strong.
@SuperDuck might have some extra insight, Chuck and Buck are two very active Pekins
