All you people and your babies. Giving me duckling fever

My Pekin is pre-broody. It’s the Muscovy I want to have babies! I may be going way up in ducks this year.

I was providing calcium as i was paranoid about splayed legs. One duxkling seems to have a wider stance, and they are still pretty wobbly for being 2 weeks old.
Maybe im just over thinking?
Shud i be giving them any supplements?

That is a niacin thing.
All flock has niacin.

Are scrambled eggs ok for ducklings?
How much and how often do u give them eggs?

I scramble one duck egg for my 3 little ones and provide a little grit on top of it. @Miss Lydia gave me the idea. I have given to mine now about 4 days in a row. They love it.

Yeah me too!

The only thing I can add is I think they may need a water container they can dunk their head up to their eyes in. Don't know about little ones, but adults need it. I use those chicken waterers at night though, less messy.

I started out when they were a week old giving scrambled egg because I had already lost two do to shipping stress and the two left we’re not doing very good. I gave scrambled egg (small egg) 2x a day till 2 weeks now they get it in the evening before bed. Mine love it and it was like a miracle when I started feeding it to them they made a complete turn around in just a few days.

Are chicken eggs from the grocery store ok?
