Pekin Ducks as Pets

There are a variety of ducks that you can have as pets. Pekin is one of those. If you’re not familiar with this duck talk with your vet or local farming supply store. Basically the Pekin duck needs plenty of room to roam and prefers to have access to lakes, ponds or other wetland areas. You’ll need to read up on daily living, housing and diet before bringing this duck home. For instance, the Pekin ducks are very intelligent animals. These ducks are highly sociable as well so you may want to consider buying a pair. The Pekin duck can also learn trucks like giving kisses, playing games, and of course spending time cuddled up with their favorite people. If you do raise a pair make sure you are prepared for ducklings to arrive. Two males or two females can be raised together as well.
