The Uncomfortable Duck Questions

[JadeComputerGal]

Hi everyone! It's Spoiled & Rottens Mom again.... Now 1 year old Pekin drakes, I've encountered another problem. Spoiled has taken to pinching my feet and hands. They are very aggressive in their pond and every time they see me they fly up to me (or run) and try to hold the inside of my palm, and do a " duck wiggle" to the ground. I've got blood blisters to prove it. Anyone else having " boy issues"?

LOLOL. And you're surprised by this why?

I have Rouens a drake & two ducks.
The drake definitely likes to dabble his way up my arm and then tries to mount my hand.
You should be okay with just drakes but if you do decide to add females you need a minimum of 2 ducks per drake and preferably 3.
In the meantime - enjoy the affection - ducks tend to be more wary of human contact than chickens so consider yourself lucky that they're interested in making contact.

, @Caring1 ! There is a lot of good information buried in this site, and a lot of good people, too. Because, seriously. What bad people would even think to look on a chicken forum? Lol

And, back to the topic at hand..
...No, I've never experienced any of this, only ever had girl ducks lol...

My Call Drake, before he matured would breed my Poor Old Dog as she was sleeping in the grass, and only bred my other Drake.....Now he has things all figured out.......lol.........


Silly Ducks!
