Does my duckling have a distended abdomen, or am I paranoid? (Pics)

[Orca5094]

I know I've read through alot of old threads looking for info here in the past, and it's always nice when the original posters came back and gave updates so others could see how things ended up. So, for this reason, I am still going to give periodic updates here in case anyone else has a similar issue in the future. Maybe it'll bring someone some hope if they come across the same problem?

My little Nutmeg is now 10 weeks old and has started her first moult! So clearly, she is still alive and well despite the odd abdomen she's had since hatch:

She looks great!

Thank you so much for not only asking this question but keeping your post updated!! I have a 5 week old duckling who has the same issue (so it seems) and this post is the only one I can find that is remotely similar to my situation. We are hoping that ours will turn out like your Nutmeg and that she is just special!

Thank you again!
