Question time! When do Pekins usually start laying? Mine is 19 weeks now and no eggs . I thought that they started laying earlier than chickens!

My jumbo pekin... The only time she can fly is in the water!

Haha, that's the same age mine had issues.

My jumbo was like this because of a combo a niacin deficiency and being overweight. Niacin tablets and a diet took care of the problem

My Pekin is officially a girl.

Oh that hat!!! How adorable!

Gotcha. So like fecal droppings.

Wait... Not supposed to have liquid droppings? mine have since they were introduced to a pool. Figured it was from the large dosages of water!

Mine are on flock raiser just so that I can feed the same thing to everyone. It's 18-20% protein, but because their feed is moderated, it didn't make a difference in their growth pattern, and no angel wings either!

Is it big all the time? Or just after eating? It could just be a full crop. I have a jumbo pekin, which are VERY easy to overfeed, and have to be kept on a strict diet, but I don't think normal Perkins have that issue.

They're considered mildly poisonous, but because they taste so bad, the birds won't eat them so it's not an issue

Males sound like a dying toad... Females sound like a fussing housewife.

Marigolds are fine! Here's a list others that work well. http://whatscookingamerica.net/EdibleFlowers/EdibleFlowersMain.htm 1. Sword Ferns - tried it don't like it. They love to root underneath it though. Good bugs hide there! 2. Foxglove - tried it, spit it right back out. 3. Oregano -...

A fox maybe? A raccoon could too. They're known to wring the necks. Depending on the size of the bird, it could have been an eagle, they can pick something up pretty cleanly

Not necessarily... I lost a pullet to a bear... No feathers, no noise, just gone. I'm sorry for your loss though

Ah, I love newfies. I have a Bernese, and he's just too curious, doesn't want to hurt them, but would crush them under his nose sniffing them all over. Lol

Anyone know when Pekins Usually start to lay? I bought mine at the end of April and need to know if they'll start laying before winter. How cute! On a different note, is that a NEWFIE?

Luckier than me! I only have two ducks with one drake. I've hear that with most ducks though, that's fine

That's what my Swedish drake sounds like
