4 Ducks in Magnolia

[4 Ducks Racing]

We have 8 week old Pekings. 4 of them. Love them so much. They are spoiled rotten. They seem to be slowly turning yellow again. And losing tons of little white feathers. I read some of the posts and done think they much cracked corn and the water is fine. Any ideas?

Excess amounts of certain leafy greens can cause their feathers to yellow... I feel like kale is one of those things, is that it @onaharley , I know you had a yellow pekin and it was diet related, perhaps you can elaborate here.

What do you feed besides cracked corn?

They get their chick feed. And a slice of watermelon a day. 1 cucumber a day. Some kale or Cheerios in the pool maybe. Not too much really besides their food.

Maybe a 1/2 cup cheerios and a large handful of kale. Not a whole bunch

What is the brand of chick feed? Protein content? Any supplements? I don't know, but for 4 ducks sounds like they are getting a lot of treats, so maybe not getting the right nutrition from their feed?

It’s only 1 cucs and a slice of watermelon. It takes about 5 days to eat a whole watermelon. This is the feed. I am wondering when they can eat adult food. They seem to eat a lot. It’s always available
