Muscovy Duckling Gender

[Miss Lydia]

According to Storey’s guide to raising ducks 100-150 mgs of niacin added to a gallon of drinking water daily till 8-10 weeks old.

While it's been awhile since i had baby Muscovy, typically the males start growing like they are on some wild drug, while the females may appear to be going backwards.

I have also found in my experience of dozens of them, the draklets tend to have a more "pronounced" chest vs the ducks... as babies.

Super cute, enjoy! i see a silkie chick in there too?

Anyone know how much niacin a duckling needs a day?

Each pound of their food needs to contain 25 mg of niacin.

Thanks you! They are growing at about the same rate so far so its hard to tell LOL but hopefully some indicating signs show up soon!
And yes! There is a silkie in the mix as well. Although sometimes he thinks he's one of them
