Peeps the Pekin Duck


Peeps the Pekin Duck

This is a picture of the Pekin duck I raised. We hatched him in my kindergarten class in April. He hung out by the pond all summer before going to live on a farm with other ducks. He didn't really know he was a duck for a long time!

Thanks. I printed it up to make cards out of it. He is a cutie, but during his residence he ate a lot of the fish in my pond and made the water cruddy!

After Peeps moved to the farm, the fish that were left, started swimming in view. I had about 30 left. Some of them were 7-8 inches long. Then they all disappeared. We found out that we had a mink visiting the pond. In a few days he cleaned out every fish and frog in the pond. My husband saw him emerge with a frog one day while he was looking out the kitchen window. Hopefully the rascal has moved on now that there is nothing left for him to eat. Some of the fish had been in my pond for 10 years and were beautiful fantails.

That's really sad, I know mink need to eat but I wish it didn't have to be so cruel

We were so perplexed as to what had happened to the fish and frogs until my husband spied the little thief. I was so envious of my husband for seeing him though.They are beautiful animals.
