Do Ducks Grow This Quickly?

[RhodeRunner]

These ducks are 6-7 days apart in age. Do, ducks grow silly fast? Or, could the two bigger ones be geese?

Ritz and Graham Quackers were sent as warmers with our cochin bantams, no information was given. The other two ducklings (Muddy & Puddle) are supposably Pekins we got from the feed store.

Thank you!

Maybe a bit more than a week, but yeah, it's believable, especially with Pekins and other large breeds. Here's a weekly comparison of my most recent babies.

Ducks are very fast growers, those look to be Pekin Ducks or White layer Ducks. Are they housed on that wire all the time?

Okay, wow! They sure grow faster than any chicken or turkey I raised. Thanks for the pictures

Alright, sounds good! They are in the chick brooder when they aren't out playing. What do you keep yours in? Thanks!
