Our Pond Pets
Ducks
We got ducks for our property some years back. We have found them fun to have around and our kids love feeding them and they make a dynamic addition to any farm. They keep our pond clean and mill around the yard like they are patrolling it, for what, we will never know. They put themselves up with the chickens at night and will quack at strangers like guard ducks. We have taken them in from here and there, we enjoy having them. We have ducks that are just for fun but we also Breed purebred Pikins fun-looking Farm Ducks.
American Pekin duck
The American Pekin Duck, Pekin duck, or Long Island duck, is a breed of domestic duck used primarily for egg and meat production. It was bred from the Mallard in China. The ancestors of those ducks originated from the canals which linked waterways in Nanjing and originally had small bodies and black feathers. With the relocation of the Chinese capital to Beijing, supply barge traffic increased in the area which would often spill grain on which the ducks fed. Over time, the ducks slowly increased in size and grew white feathers. By the Five Dynasties, the new breed of duck had been domesticated by Chinese farmers.
This is one of our Pekin's a male named Vanilla. We got him back in 2012.
