Okay, so I bought these two cute little ducklings from the local feed store. They were both about the same size when I bought them (though slightly different colored) and in a large tub labeled Runner ducks. Well its been about a week or two now and I can't help but notice that one of these ducklings is much much bigger than the other. He is about 1 lb 2 oz turning white, and very very fat(the other is roughly 10 0z). I have dubbed him Duncan and am starting to doubt that he is a runner at all. He literally dwarfs my other ducklings, including the mallards that are actually older.

Well that's cool, I never even considered owning a Pekin before, they seemed kinda boring, but more and more I'm finding this guy to be my favorite. He is much more cuddly and friendly, He's the only one that will actually just sit in my lap with me. He's also much more clumsy
and his big ole feet smack the ground when he walks.

I was starting to think I had one giant on my hands

He is also most definitely a male, his voice is already much raspier than the others.
