Is my duck overweight?

[NewAtThis8]

I don’t have a good scale to weigh him- thinking I may use my bathroom scale while holding him and then subtract my weight to see if I can get a ballpark. But based on how he looks, normal or maybe cause for concern? If either applies, what would one look for when checking for obesity? He’s got a brother with some medical issues that hasn’t thrived / has a different body composition than he does so judging in comparison he looks and feels massive but I don’t think it’s a good comparison. Here’s some photos of my Heimlich. He’s a jumbo Pekin, so he will be larger than the typical Pekin. They don’t get many extra treats but they have access to their food all day in their feeder. I don’t see him at it excessively but I could be missing it.

Beautiful Duck.
I don't see anything wrong here.
Here is my opinion on feeding chickens, ducks, and any other birds..
I provide feed for my flock, all day long. I remove and contain in closed cans at night. (prevent rodents, and other night time visitors from eating)
Never encountered any of my birds getting overweight. Therefore, I do not see there need to put birds on diets.

When it comes to other pets,,, (mammals) Like cats, and dogs,,, If they only get dry cat food, or dog food, they are not likely to turn obese. If you overfeed them with tasty wet food,,,,,,,, well they may gain weight more than desired.


WISHING YOU BEST,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and
