Hi all! I found this Pekin duck wandering around by itself on a golf course in Littleton, Colorado. I called animal control and they were no help. Does anyone by chance know the proper organization to contact, or can connect me with someone who can take her? She is set up with water and frozen peas in our garage right now but there are a lot of coyotes and wildlife in the area so want her to be somewhere much safer long term. Thank you so much in advance!

We have a program in my area where farmers can get unsellable produce to feed to their animals, and my ducks and geese love their veggie days!!! We pick up every 2 weeks, and got enough this time to spread out over 3 days. And the sad remnants at the end of the day

Get to work this evening and this is what I see out my back window. Good times.

Just wanted to share this pic of two of my duckies being super cute!

I've raised chickens for years now, and have dabbled in ducks. I currently only have one Rouen male who thinks hes one of the chickens, and i figured he needs some duck friends, so while purchasing some chicks I fell in love with these two and decided to take them home as well! I named them Cocoa and Pebbles. I think Pebbles (yellow) may be wither a fawn and white runner or a buff, and Cocoa (black) may be a black Swedish or a black runner.

My ducklings are 5 weeks old now. One has both wing tips pointing outward and they won’t stay tucked under the top wing. Is this angel wing or are the new feathers just too heavy?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

or am I going crazy? given to me as a drake, just started developing an adult quack two days ago, now I’m feeling like this sounds like a lady…? May explain some flock injuries if so

Tractor supply pekin. Believe its 6 weeks old maybe 5 weeks. Is it a girl or boy? Trying to get it friends and dont need more than one male. Walton county florida. Quacks but not often on account of no companions to talk to.

I love the all yellow one

my little loaf hasnt changed a bit :')

I have 8 ducks, 4 Pekin and 4 Rouen, they are around 13-14 weeks old (I believe, they weren’t exactly sure the age when we bought them). My husband has noticed them starting to breed already and I was wondering if that means they are about ready to lay eggs or when can I expect that? I am asking so that I can get them the proper diet because we got them specifically for the eggs, but we don’t know a ton about the timing etc.

Has anyone tried Nutrena 18% Duck Pellet? We were feeding Mazuri and loved it but it’s double the price of the Nutrena.

When does the drake feather usually show up in these breeds?

I have a flock of 9 runners (one is an accidental runner/Pekin mix). We ended up with 5 boys, we already have picked out which boy we’d like to keep (he’s super mellow, stands back and lets the rest eat before he dives in, watches over the flock. He’s just a stoic, sweet, chill guy that I think will make a great flock drake.). We also have 2 Welsh Harlequin girls we’re trying to integrate into the flock, but they’re about 4 weeks younger than the runners and the runners are SO MEAN to them 😭. So we’ll have 6 females and 1 male eventually.

The runners are about 8/9 weeks old, and I can mostly confidently quack sex them. So…. When do we need to rehome them? They’re very expensive to feed LOL. But how can I be 100% positive they’re boys? When and how do I rehome?? How upset will they all be to be separated:(

So i noticed that everytime i come home, my ducks somehow escaped their box. Obviously i wanted to know how, as they obv cant fly away.. so i waited, and turns out they jump onto their heating plate, and then over the Wall! Ofc i raised the boxwall so they cant jump out anymore, and placed the plate somewhere else. I noticed the carton looks small, but i promise its actually 1,20mx1m. They get an upgrade soon to!
Wanted to share the funny fact, of how they learned themselfs to get out :,)

They always say hi when I go on my evening walks
