    I heard pekins can live for around 20 or more years

    In my duck book they said pekin ducks only live about 6 months, becuase they are a meat duck and their lifespan hasn't been increased. There is no breed of ducks that live up to 20 years, more like 4 or 5 years. Correct me if I am wrong, but I have ducks and have done a lot of reserch
    Thanks so much Ashley for the siggy!

    Ok I got my info on those ducks lol.

    Well its true they have a short life span But....

    If you get them from a breeder that sells them as pets they can live to there teens for about 6 to 8 years old.

    A goose however is a better choice they can live up to 20.

    Ok sorry I was wrong but at least now I know to get a goose lol.

    I hope you'd raise the goose from a baby. They can make you wish poultry could be neutered.
