About 7 month ago my duck had a small odd growth that kept growing untill it was pretty big, then one day I went out to check on the ducks when it had just fallen off and left a hole. I thought it was a good thing and that it could finally heal but it just won't heal. It stayed as a black scab...

I just learned there’s a buy/sell section of this forum! I’m based in Clackamas county Oregon. I’ve had 2 male pekin a for 3 years now, and I can no longer take care of them. I posted a Craigslist ad but I figured I should expand my sources a bit. I’m moving soon and I won’t be able to bring...

Hi all, First time duck momma here. We have two Pekin ducks - one male and one female. When they were 3-4 weeks old we took them to the vet bc they had respiratory issues (female more so), and they were treated with antibiotics. Fast forward 8 months later, and our female started making a high...

Hi! So I have ducks. 2 drakes and 2 hens (lost 2 of my other hens to foxes in the spring,hence the reduced number of hens). All raised together since ducklinghood. A couple of weeks past, I separated one of the drakes from the flock, due to fighting, leaving a better yet still not ideal, I...

My 1 say old ducklings 3rd eyelid (the lid they use underwater) is stuck in the middle of his eye, this happened to one of my other duckling I was raising last year and he passed a few days after. He is acting normal right now, but I’m scared that he won’t make it. His water eyelid is also very...

Thanks for the add! We are a new duck family to 4 pekins we incubated, which gave us 2 female snd 2 male. We figured we needed more female, so we bought 2 1 week old crested pekins and they are still in the brooder. We built the fort knox of duck enclosures for our duckies. 1/4 inch hardware...

So maybe two weeks ago, I hatched out my first duckling. I usually purchase my ducklings from hatcheries, but my first duckling successfully hatched, after many failed attempts. See, my breeding drake has very strong genes, which In this case, isn’t a good thing. He’s had leg problems ever since...

I left my ducks in their run for the day, and when I returned I found my female pekin (about 15 weeks old) was missing some feathers on the back of her neck (I have attached some photos below), I also have an Indian runner duck who I believe is a drake by his quack, who is only 11 weeks old. I...

So, I have multiple khaki Campbell’s and Pekin ducks and two of mine have recently mated. Astonishingly one of my Khaki Campbell ducks, Val, became broody almost twice in one month, as before she was less attentive to the nest than her girlfriend Carol. Last month when they were broody they were...

Hi, I’m raising 4 female Pekin ducks that are just past 3 weeks old. I’m new to this so I’m sure that I’m going to have plenty of questions. Excited to join this community.

I have a broody Pekin duck that has been sitting on 12 eggs for about 3 weeks now. I have candled them twice and they are definitely fertile. Some of the eggs are completely dark when I try to candle them. Others have veins and what seems to be a dark eye maybe. Any tips or pointers for a first...

Hi, I rescued a female pekin duck about a year ago. When I first got her, the tips of her wings were dirty and brown and seemed to be deteriorating. I didn’t really know what it was first, so I just kept her clean and it didn’t seem to bother her. Now, her wings are quite bad. I’ve figured out...

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? -I don’t own any chickens, just a duck, this is my first time owning a duck. I’ve had her for about 2 years and 8 months now. 2) How many chickens do you have right now? -I don’t have any chickens, I have a single pet duck. She had...

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...
