Muscovy ducklings

[AmyP716]

So I got these 2 ducklings and they are suppose to be Muscovy. I was told they are the same age one is so huge compared to the other. The smaller one just seems off to me. It doesn’t go after worms when I feed them and it just doesn’t seem to eat like the bigger one. So I guess my first question is are they both Muscovy cause the person who sold them to me has call ducks also, and then maybe it just needs some vitamins or something. They are eating chick starter. If anyone has any ideas let me know thanks.

Both do look like Muscovy to me. Instead of chick starter, can you get some Purina Flock Raiser?

Exactly what I was going to say. If you have a lot of chick starter please get some Nutritional yeast ( not baking yeast) and put it in the Chick starter until you use up the starter they need the extra niacin since starter doesn’t have near enough for ducklings 1 tablespoon per cup of feed sprinkled. Precious Muscovy maybe one is older the reason for size.

Ok I can get some flock raiser tomorrow I will try it.

One of my Swedish ducklings was much bigger than the other, but after a few weeks, they grew to be the same size.

So my Muscovys are growing. There is still a huge size difference though. So the big one is getting feathers I was wondering what color it is. It looks striped.
