Wow. That is quite different from several information I got online about Pekin ducks.

Your thread kindled my interest in ducks and I made further research on them. And I took particular interest in the Pekin duck because I read from many sources online that they grow very fast and are usually slaughtered at 6weeks to 8weeks where they would have reached around 3kg. Some called it the broiler duck.

So I was thinking that if they can reach 3kg in 6-7wks with proper feeding then they may reach same size or close to that in 3 months (12wks) if on free range without supplemental feeding.

Could it be that we don't have the type of Pekin that these people are talking about?

It’s quite simple really

There’s one way to know for sure I’ve shared my own experience
Why not try yours and see?!

I don’t really follow online stuff like that
They say experience is the best teacher


So give it a try and lemme know the results you get good morning

RYEOFARMS:
Well I’ve not tried that before I always supplement their feeding and if well fed by three to four months they should be at table size

Thanks for your responses. I'll one day get to try out for sure.

But have you ever weighed the 3 months or 4 months Pekin duck? Can you remember the weight at that age?

And what do you use to supplement their feeding? If commercial feed, what type?

Thanks.

The Welsh Harlequin is a breed of domestic duck originating in Wales. In 1949, in Criccieth, Group Captain Leslie Bonnet discovered a colour mutation among his flock of Khaki Campbells and began selective breeding for the trait.

the Welsh Harlequin is a light-weight duck breed known for its vivid plumage and egg laying ability. Over the years the colour and conformation of the breed has changed, indicating that likely new blood of another breed has been introduced.Welsh Harlequins weigh 4.5 to 5.5 pounds (2-2.5 kilos). Females have a black bill and brown legs and feet, and their plumage is similar to a mallard but heavily frosted with white. They also lack the eye stripes of mallard females. Drakes are also similar to a heavily frosted Mallard with a yellow/green bill and orange legs and feet.

I took your advice and got 5 Pekin ducks of 8 weeks old last year. I think you didn't have at the time.

I'm actually not satisfied with their growth. One drake we killed to eat in early January this year weighed just about 1.6kg live weight.

However I found something else interesting about them. They are laying machines. They've been laying eggs steadily since November last year. I think they may lay as much as 250 to 300 eggs per year if you don't let them sit.

After initially laying eggs carelessly anywhere and in the open, they later began to choose hidden places, make nests and lay. Initially I will remove all the eggs but I later allowed the eggs of one and it sat and hatched 7 ducklings. They were 3 weeks old yesterday and I separated the mother. The mother has been screaming since yesterday and won't leave the environment where the ducklings are. But the ducklings don't seem to miss their mother. They are not screaming.

Mine are on semi free range. They move about freely within a fenced compound. I provide feed for them.

I have a few questions;
1. That colourful breed you have there (I guess Harlequin), how does it compare in size/weight to the Peking ducks?
2. Do they fly?
3. And if I should acquire that to add to my existing Peking, how do I stop them from cross breeding?

That breed is quite colourful and beautiful.

1.You’ve said it all I really do not have the time probably due to the facts that it’s not only poultry I run I have so many other sections so I majorly just pick a niche
I do mostly growouts and never actually sold per kg so there hasn’t been any need to weigh them

2.They glide they don’t fly unlike the Muscovy

3. You’d have to separate em once they reach breeding age ( each breed should have their own space otherwise they’d interbreed which is why we don’t exactly have pure strains around here)

I won't be able to separate for now until I'm able to fence a bigger area of my farm. So I'll keep in view.
