Do these Pekin ducklings look right?

[Stoney Meadow Maple]

My Pekin ducklings seem to have much much thinner and more easily waterlogged than the Rouen, they kinda look like a half plucked turkey in moments, are they just growing so fast their “feathers” haven’t caught up? Is it a nutrition deficiency? Or am I just paranoid?

And of course they love a blow drying

My pekin looked like a gangly hobbit from about 2 weeks until 8 weeks old lol they grow really fast and it takes a while for their baby fluff to go away entirely.

thats hilarious because just last night I said one looked like a hobbit!
The pictures dont do justice to how soggy and waterlogged they get, I swear they won’t have any fluff at all when they do off it all goes transparent. The little guy facing away is the one I thought was pretty hobbit like

They are adorable ❤ I have a question are you feeding chick starter? If you are please add some B3 to their diet. Large breeds like Pekins can get leg issues like lameness pigeon toes and other problems associated with a deficiency and it’s so easy to make sure they don’t by adding nutritional Yeast or getting liquid B Complex to add to their diet. You can but NY at Whole Foods or order off Amazon and TSC carries Durvet liquid BComplex.

We thought we were feeding the right thing but as I look I see no mention, B12, but not B3.

What is the name of the feed?
