Call Ducks

[DuckieKeeks]

Hi! I have 3 call ducks, they are 5 weeks old. I weighed them and they are already 2lbs. I believe they should be close to 2lbs at full size. I know size and growth can vary, but is it possible that I am feeding them too much? Thanks for your responses and advice.

Is it possible that they may not be Call ducks? At 5 weeks old, Calls should not be that large.

Welcome to BYC. How did you weigh them? Did you use a food or postal scale?

..Not sure if you have call ducks on your hand if they're 2lbs at 5 weeks!

maybe a picture could help?

Well I ordered call ducks, but perhaps they are not. I used a food scale.

I was thinking the same thing. I ordered them as calls, but maybe they’re not.

I weighed them on a food scale.
