Could my duckling have dwarfism?

I'm sorry I don't have answers, but I agree that it is concerning that she is that much smaller than the others since Swedish are such a large breed. That crest is pretty big and makes me wonder if there are other underlying genetic issues.

Ty. I’m keeping her close and making sure she is safe. I’ll keep posting in hopes someone might have seen this before.

Here she is all grown up. Still never grew into head or feet. But otherwise very healthy.

Beautiful ducks, what a huge crest she has and so pretty

 

[DellaMyDarling]

Wow! How pretty! Never seen a duck like her.

Checked in because I've got one duckling lagging behind on growth. They are a week today, so too soon to really worry I suppose.

How is the duckling doing? eating, drinking, pooping interacting with the rest.

She is shy but healthy

That’s what counts! The healthy part! They all have different personalities
