I can try weighing myself and then weight myself with him and subtracting that. I’ll try tomorrow because it’s super cold outside and I don’t want to bring him in because the temp change will be super drastic! I heard something about feeling their keel bone or something the bone the runs along the middle of their belly. Idk if he’s just normal and my other ducks are chubby but I can feel his a lot more.Do you have a food scale that you can weigh him on?
A young mallard will feel thinner than a domestic breed, but you can try the keel method.I can try weighing myself and then weight myself with him and subtracting that.
