Awwwwwweee she is so precious! :> What shall you name her?

Simple! At their age right now, the females will be quacking and the males will still be peeping!!! I have never done vent sexing but I hear it can be quite tricky. They are too old to vent sex, from what I understand. It is for day-old to few-day-old chicks/ducklings. You probably cannot get a...

I appreciate the input :> Well, unlike chickens, ducks cannot be caught and held by their legs because they will break or get injured. Especially the breed I have, the Jumbo Pekin, who have such great, bulky body weight and not enough leg to support it, so it seems. I find myself having to...

A few days ago my Jumbo Pekin drake started aggressively climbing onto my arm and grabbing onto my jacket sleeve with his bill when I tried to pet him. I wasn't sure what he was doing at first, but it very soon occurred to me that he was attempting to mount my arm, and he did this for a few...

So I was outside petting my female Jumbo Pekin while she was down in her mating position that she seems to like to do for me, lol, I call it her "flounder" position and call her "Flounder Bird" all the time. And it wasn't long into petting her that this tiny little egg popped right out of her...

Yeah, that little boy has only gotten on top of her a couple times and done the deed properly. I don't know if he doesn't realize what he's supposed to do or if he's too fat and lazy or just has trouble getting up there. He just stands to her side, bobbing his head up and down doing his little...

Yup they sure do propel themselves across the yard well with their wings! My girl does this more so than the drake. My boy is getting huge. Neither of them have been making any flying attempts lately: I think they have realized they are ground birds. After "mating," which my boy has a terrible...

Wow, all this about Pekins actually flying?? I remember my first set of regular-sized Pekins first trying their darndest to "fly" when they became fully-feathered. They would run, jump and flap with every gust of wind and only get up a little over a foot or two feet into the air and go about...

Aww what became of this boy? Just a drake being a drake I guess? He's so handsome

Here is a video of my Jumbos with their collie dog. They run around the yard with him and follow him everywhere! They spend all day trying to keep up with him, waddling around from one end of the yard to the other. Dog and ducks; best of friends! In this vid you can hear my little Abbie-Beak...

Hahaha well glad for the responses from you and a few others to know I'm not the only one who's having/ has had this experience!! I guess I'm just Big Bird around here :> Wow, big! I guess you're going to eat it? Haven't heard of anyone incubating goose eggs yet. My Jumbo Pekins just matured...

Hahaha well I guess I'm the Alpha bird and she really likes me!

Sorry to hear about the drake. I hope he gets better. Well, I have been having the strangest experience with my female Jumbo Pekin, Abbey-Beak. Strange, awkward, and funny. For the past week, when I go out in the morning to spend time with her and her "mate", Bo Khan, as soon as I approach...

Could my last drake have been "aggressively flirting" with me? Lol, the thought or possibility had never crossed my mind. Someone had suggested it over the summer, but I disregarded. But now that it is mentioned again, I have to wonder. I am female, btw. He would stand on top of my feet while...

Hey there, Duck Commander. I ordered my ducky diapers from Nettie some time ago and was happy to find that they they were just shipped out earlier today. She is a great lady and makes the best duck diapers around, so she therefore gets lots and lots of orders since she is the go-to-gal. Her...

I have had two sets of Pekins, and both sets I have had COMPLETELY different experiences with. I would like to explain. I obtained my first set who were male and female regular Pekins at three weeks of age. They spent the first three weeks of their lives in a brooder with their brothers and...

And here's the drake/male.

Yeah, certainly looks it. Here are two photos of what appear to be white female Muscovies (disregarding that black one in the background.) The first photo is one with a limited amount of red carruncles on her, with just a little bit on her eyes. The second photo features a bird with a great deal...
