Poor growth or stowaway?

[Teneniel]

Awesome thank you so much for all the advice! The store only sold runners and Khakis but they got their stock from a hatchery so I suppose **** happens

I’ll hold the grit and V&E for now, then. The little one did seem to perk up after I gave some diluted ACV but it is definitely smaller and less manic than the rest of them.

The runners have me trained to come change the water when they holler, haha! They’re very interactive and patipatipat back and forth excitedly when I come in.

Def different personalities, from hatch my Runners come out of the egg rest a bit and then up ready to get busy! lol they are a hoot. But your little stowaway will grow up thinking it’s a Runner! I had 2 Buffs hatch with my Runners and they are Runners and don’t try to tell them they aren’t

Ah shoot I meant to also ask, is a single non runner duck going to be happy enough on its own or should I get another that isn’t quite so quick on its feet?

Ah! Haha! You answered my question then! I do see it trying to stand up and keep up sometimes but it never lasts more than a moment. I won’t tell him if you don’t

It will be fine.

You’ll be very surprised how well it will keep up, but of course if you feel the little one would like to have another shorty with him then by all means go and get one we love to enable too

Oh yes, you probably need more than just one extra duck... probably 10?

 

[Miss Lydia]

Well that’s really over the top @Beaglegal but hey if ya got the room why not!!
