New duckling! Help?

@WVduckchick Omg call ducks are so cute I love them. And also yah I wasn't expecting to see freckles at all at least not that soon. Like I said they're super faint and it's not dirt... maybe she stained her beak somehow? I don't really know

My husband isn't as crazy about my ducks as i am, but he does like them. I'm hatching call ducklings this weekend, and bring them out, he'll lay them on his chest, it's so cute.

@DuckMochi freckles usually indicate female when they get to laying age, the hormones cause freckling. I'm not sure about a 4-week old.

Good to know, hopefully I will see some freckles. She will be 24 this week!

Here’s a little bundle of Sunni pics! Look how big she is now! She’s not afraid of anything either, not my cat or the bigger birds. They’re all afraid of Sunni. She’s not even an adult yet and she’s already the boss!

So guys I took Sunni out and noticed she’s like... lopsided? Her right breast is larger than her left and I’m not sure why. I don’t feel anything there... any reason why she looks like this?

I did the best I could to take pictures but she’s very active and doesn’t like to stand still.

Here’s a couple more

Don't worry. It's just her crop. It's where all their food is stored before it goes into the gizzard to be ground up, since they don't have teeth. Just make sure it empties at night.

Oh ok. I didn't know if ducks had crops like chickens or not. That makes me feel better
