Hello. Last week I bought 5 pekin ducklings from TSC. We've been wanting some for ages since all ours disappeared last fall by some mystery predator (maybe a human... being that it was the middle of the day and I found no feathers!!)

Anyway 4 of the ducks are HUGE already and one hasn't grown at all. What should we be doing or is this normal?

I got the all age duck feed from TSC and I'm giving it to them wet. He is eating and drinking. I would guess just over a week old.
 
The duck could just be small . Looks like a healthy size (3”long?) do you know the gender? The little one could be a girl and all the others could be boys . Could be a runt too .

I don't know the gender. They all peep still...no squwarks or quacks yet. It's a very loved duckling so I hope it's ok. We don't mind having males... but would 4 males to one female be a bit much?!
