Duckling weight/growth charts

[jaswashburn]

Hi Everyone,
Does anyone have weight/growth charts for their ducklings of various breeds? I did find one post to a google docs in a thread (which was great!) but the more data and more breeds the better. Also does anyone measure or track how much food their ducklings are eating daily?
Thanks!

I imagine a line growth chart for ducks would be nearly vertical.

I didn't measure my ducklings' food because they made such a ridiculous mess. I'm not even sure how I'd measure it. But it would be I teresting to see that data.

I found these charts when researching Muscovy duckling size. I also daily weighed my rescued Muscovy duckling for 6 weeks and now have my own growth chart to compare with any future Muscovies I raise. The charts are for stockyard flocks -- I think my rescued duck probably ate more and grew more than the average duck in a stockyard flock
