VIDEO: Ducks Won't Swim! My Pekin Ducks Are Afraid of Water…


Skip to 7:29 for those wanting to skip straight to the action of me trying to force the ducks into the dam 🙂 I have this unusual problem whereby my pekin ducks become scared of water! This video shows the ridiculous lengths I go to just to re-teach my ducks how to enjoy swimming again…

Self Sufficient Me is based on our small 3-acre property/homestead in SE Queensland Australia about 45kms north of Brisbane – the climate is subtropical (similar to Florida). I started Self Sufficient Me in 2011 as a blog website project where I document and write about backyard food growing, self-sufficiency, and urban farming in general. I love sharing my foodie and DIY adventures online so come along with me and let’s get into it! Cheers, Mark 🙂

  1. Smarter ducks get funny about water they perceive might be used by predators. Could be the amount of shade or something, none of them wanted to be first.

  2. Haha, ducks are comical to watch. We have 2 and 1 of them hates the water the other will get in and play and spash, the hater sits and watches and tries to keep from even being splashed

  3. Our Pekin ducks wouldn’t go in the water either. My husband and I had to force them in water. I went out looking for them this morning and Voila they went in on their own.
