Hi! I have two males, Herc and Des (Pekin and Cayuga) who are very kind. I thought. They are super nice to Pato and Sera the other females. However, Sasha is a Cayuga/Pekin mix and extremely small. She is the smallest duck. She has bald spots under her wings due to the males. I watch them grab...

My 1 year old Pekin male has bumblefoot. Please give me some way to help him! I saw you can bath him in warm water, use Epsom Salt, and then peel the scab? Is that the best way/only way? I want to heal him quickly! He only has it on the bottom of his pad, it’s just a giant black spot that’s...

Sorry, this is the second time I posted on this forum, and I don’t want to clog it up. It’s just, we have a Cayuga male and Pekin male and one female Pekin! I know the ratio is bad, and we have been searching for more females! Now, Pato (the female) had babies/ducklings! They look like they may...

Hi! We have a male year old Cayuga and a female Pekin. They just had some babies! Yay! I was wondering has anyone had these babies before, from these breeds? Will they be the size of a Pekin? There are 3 black and white/yellow ones, the other 6 are the yellow/white like a baby Pekin. Will these...

I was elated to find the first egg of Pato’s in her basket/coop! The next day, bam!- another egg! So, for four days, everyday, we found a new egg in her clutch! Today, no egg! Is that normal? Pato goes free-range nearly everyday. Yesterday, we couldn’t let her out due to my doggo being sick...

So, my female Pekin (Pato) will be 8 months soon! She’s just laid two eggs. We’re not using them for meat, eggs, or anything. Our ducks are like family. Anywho, we’d like to hatch babies... successfully. It’s winter here and often reaches 20 degrees Fahrenheit. She’s laid them in a box, with...

It’s not a competition or anything. Just sharing pictures we’ve collected of our babies! Not sure how this’ll go, but I know they have a “share pictures and stories of your chickens” forum where sharing photos and stories is all you do. I’d like something like that’s for our ducks! I’ll go...

Hi! I’ve been on here for 4 months, so not “new” but I have a couple newbie questions that I have yet to figure out! What does following do? I’ve seen people comment on a threat, “Following!” So, I followed people but I never get notifications that they’ve started or updated a thread? Sorry if...

Hi! I have five ducks. Three males (I think) and two females (maybe?) Long story short; How do you entertain your ducks during winter? Long story; I have two lots/pens. One pen has three ducks; two males and one female (for sure), and a good sized pool. They chew grass coming through the fence...

My older ducks are 5 months, the new ones are 2 months. We want to introduce them to one another, as for the past month they’ve seen each other everyday through a fence. Sadly, whenever we let out older ducks free roam; they immediately go to pecking at them through the fence. It’s the two...

This is a very long story, but I’m desperate, so I hope you’ll take the time to read it. We originally had three ducks, Pato, Hercules, and Destiny. We thought they were all females, but turns out; two males and one female. We heard this can be dangerous to the female (having more males than...

My two new Pekin ducklings (Bluebell and Cora) are 11 days old! We have three older ducks, Destiny, Hercules, and Pato! Destiny and Hercules are boys, while Pato is a single female! We knew this wouldn't work so we searched for female ducks, but couldn't find any! We got two ducklings, and we...

Hi! I'm new! I posted this in "injuries" but someone suggested I post it here! Anywho, I got two new ducklings to add to my flock! One duckling (we have yet to name) fell and hurt it's foot. Some nice person sent a photo of the anatomy of a duck, and it looks like the duckling's ankle is...

Hi! This is my first post, and I wish it was a happier one! We got two new ducklings to add into our flock of three (one female and two drakes). We're hoping our new ducklings will be females! One of the ducklings (we have yet to name), fell and hurt his/her leg. We're wondering if it's...
