What are your Pekins favorite treats? Soleil likes swimmies (feeder fish), bananas, mealworms and peas!

My Pekin Drake Clyde LOVES kale and blueberries. He's a little monster and gobbles up what i give him for the day so quickly.

What do you mean max? eggs to hatch? I think all viable eggs will hatch, you may get some that are too old or others that don't develop. My WH sat on 18 eggs this spring and hatched 8. Only 2 of the eggs were quitters the rest were either not fertilized or too old/past their prime and never developed. Good luck with her!!!!

I have 2 Pekin ducks and one of them had what looked like a crack on the round part on the tip of the bill. Now it looks like it may be "dying". Here is a pic. Can anyone give some advice on what to do. This is our first time having ducks. Thanks in advance!

Since I don't have an answer for you, I'm reposting this so hopefully someone will respond.

Their new pond is a huge success! We dug it about 4' deep so they can dive down and they absolutely love it!!

I'm new to owning ducks. I have 2 Peking ducks not sure on sex. How do you tell? My problem is the they quit walking today one of them seems to move a little bit but the other isn't moving at all. They were both moving around yesterday and seemed completely healthy today not so much. They are with chickens if that makes a difference. My wife and I put the9m I the pool earlier and they swam fine but won't walk. Any suggestions. I have been feeding them regular crumble grower and they are only 2 and a half months old.

Mine do that on occasion and they are usually just hot or stressed. when they are not fully feathered they have a harder time regulating their body temp
