GAM, may I ask if you can post a pic of your Pekin duck hatchlings? We got two babies from TSC an I really don't know what they are,,,,,,,,,

The TSC ducklings that we have are a little odd ... the newbies are still in NICU until later today. I'll get pictures of them soon.

Yes. But I'm building hoop coops for less.

Hmm...What is a hoop coop? Pictures?

I had the same question, until I got there and helped build one!!! Awesome idea!! sooooooo much easier than the fortress my DH built. I'm very happy to have what I got, but the hoop coop got my mind going on all the critters I can have and I wouldn't need DH help to do it!!!!!!!!,

Awww, poor babies. No hurry, they aren't going anywhere, I'm just curious. This is the first time having ducks. It really doesn't matter what they are, I would just like all the info I can get on what I have.
I know this for sure, they grow fast, really fast!!!!

The day we got them, the TSC employee that was in with all of the chicks/ducklings tried to tell me they were Mallards. Clearly they aren't. Another employee told Robo on a later date that they were Pekins. They just look so much darker than the other Pekins that I've hatched out in the past. And now these guys are getting feathers sticking out in the area of their ears. I haven't noticed that on the other Pekins I've done. I dunno. They may be Pekins but they are different from what I'm used to.

No kidding. Poinduxter was walking around on my keyboard just a couple of weeks ago. Now he's as big as the keyboard.

The thought of him pooping on you now amuses me.

Here's a couple shameless Pekin pics from my last '13 hatch- along with one Mallard. For nostalgia sake. <3 So freaking cute.
