How to care for ducklings! Help!

i do recommend that ducks swim, while not madatory i think that ducks who can swim are easier to breed, also they have alot of funn splashing around in the water

I will get some brewers yeast and see if that helps. Here is a pic of the little one next to the bigger one. The yellow duck was always a bit bigger, we figured it was about 3-4 days older. But now two of the yellow , the ones I suspect are Pekin, are huge. The third yellow one is a bit smaller, but much leaner and stands straight up where the other two do not.

This is when we first got them. The little yellow one to the left is the one that I think is a Runner, not a Pekin. I have no clue what the little brown one in the middle could be, maybe KC?

adorable looks like a KC to me. are you sure your littlest is getting food? sometimes when the others are bigger the littles have a hard time getting to the feed bowls if you haven't already maybe have to feed bowls and waterers. and you can get a product called Poultry Nutri Drench it is great for giviing little ones who maybe having a bit of a struggle to keep up some extra nutrients. it can go right into the mouth or into the waterers.

Well I guess time will tell. You could ask what ducks they got that week and try to piece together the puzzle. Maybe one was leftover from a previous order and was put with the rest.

Thats what I'm thinking

This is a little update on the black duck that we don't know the breed. Here are some new pictures from today. She is a female I think, we sexed her a few times, but the coat looks maleish. IDK
