    Did one drake kill the other?

    I had two drakes and that's it. No females. I hoped they'd get along well since they grew up together, but one started getting aggressive with the other recently and they just turned one year old. Well, the aggressive one has been trying to mount and mate the other, both in and out of the water...

    Are drakes more aggressive in spring?

    My two mallard drakes seem a little more aggressive lately. My Pekin girl is avoiding the pool and they're still bothering her. Yesterday my daughter said they were chasing the duck around the yard and pecking her and she was bleeding. I brought her inside and cleaned her up but the wounds...

    What kind ducks are these?

    They live at a local pond. There are plenty of mallards, a couple of Pekins, and someone must've dumped a whole flock of Muscovies here. But these two I have no idea. The male is as big as a Rouen but more muted in color. The female is black and white. Any ideas?

The vet says she can go outside if she's eating and drinking normally and can...

    Mallard Pekin pairings

    Just wondering if there are any successful matings between mallards and Pekins? I'm not really wanting a hybrid, I'm just wondering. I have a female Pekin and two male mallards (not ideal, I know, that's just how it turned out and they get along pretty well.) The males (mostly only one of them...

    Pekin limping

    My almost 3 month old Pekin is limping. I noticed it yesterday morning though she was hiding it well and wasn't too noticeable. I almost thought I was imagining it. But by evening it was more noticeable and her leg looked swollen compared to the other. This morning it seemed better than last...

    Sexing mallards

    I've got 3 ducks, a Pekin and two mallards. They're nearly 8 weeks old so I SHOULD be able to voice sex, right? But I have no idea if the mallards are boys or girls. The Pekin is very obviously a girl. She started honking (my husband thought I'd accidentally got a goose!) and then quacking...
