Have i got a micro duck?

[shella]

this duck was born 17th 0f may 2011 his/her name is ming ming
i have noticed that around the eyes have what can only described as hard crusty mass
like small feathers are trying to beak through.
he/she also has bold spots on his/her back
i am giving ming ming vitamins
can anyone help

the white around the eyes

the bold spots on the back

she/he is very small for her age this picture shows her with his/her hatch mates they hatched
within hours of each other

You should just send Ming Ming to me

That is the cutest tiny duck ever! We got a tiny Khaki Campbell at TSC a few months ago. Dips is still a bit smaller than the average duck but has bigger personality so I bet your Ming Ming will be just fine

Are you sure Ming Ming isn't a Call Duck?

What a little sweetie!! Such big eyes!! So tiny.. I have had a few that start off small but eventually catch up- and some that dont, they have had some issues though- so I hope that little ming ming is ok and grows up normally in the end.

That looks just like my Micro as he was growing. Micro still has crusty eyes sometimes. I still make sure he gets lots of vitamins too. You just may have a "micro" on your hands. Mine is still hanging in there and fiesty as ever. Good luck yours is so precious too!

Micro next to a normal sized call drake.

ming ming never needed any help with drinking and eating she just is really small and bold in places
I'm hoping its where her feathers are coming through
i had to move her to another box her hatch mates started picking on her
i moved her in with some hatchlings they too have out grown her lol
