Here they are!!!! He is the small one in the back and on the buggie board.
in the first one he is the duckling my dog is sniffing

Ill get some updated pictures tommorrow hopefully. Lol. Sorry im bad at getting pics up on time yall!

What a gorgeous little one. It is very tiny isnt it.. It will be interesting to see if it will catch up in size- or if it will always be small.

 

[Goat_Walker]

So far I dont think He has really grown any.. maybe a little bit, but not much.

Oh it is so precious! It looks very healthy too. Good luck with that little one. Keep us updated with lots of pics as it grows.

Will Do! For the first few days I thought I was going to loose him. I mean He could barely walk, and he couldnt eat and drink on his own because of his neck. Hopefully though, he will get better. So far he can eat and drink on his own, but he is a little slow - Mentally and physically. He has delayed reactions or else he just sits there sometimes. He sticks close to my four week old, Jelly Bean ( mallard duck ) so its kind of funny seeing them together.

I kept giving MicroDuck special things like peas, vitamins in his water, crushed brewers yeast in his peas, fish oil in the peas, etc. I would rotate around what he got each day. These suggestions came from other BYCers that were trying to help me figure out why he was so small and so far behind all the others. Vitamin deficiency, dwarfism, etc. Even though each phase of his growth was months behind the others, he's still with me and as fiesty as the others so....... Keep up the good work with yours and I bet he will be fine.

These were taken a few minutes ago
The mallard is about 3-4 weeks old, and the other two are runner x swedes and they are only a day or two older than Lil Wayne - but you can clearly see the size difference.

I once had baby Muscovy like that, it was the smallest of the ducklings I ordered. We had named him 'Gary Coleman' after the famous one lol

and he certainly had more personality then the rest of the flock. Sadly, one day our Weimeraner decided she was going to have a snack and she got him out of the brooder and killed him

Thats aweful! My mini schnauzer ( in the first set of pictures) mothers my babies, but i would never trust her alone with them, just because of all the stories on here.

In the second set of pictures im sure you can see the white miniature schnauzer. She ate my hamster once. She is a TRUE rat dog. Isnt as interested in the rabbits since they are bigger but goes after the ducks and when we had rats those. SHe was actually licking the cage when i was taking those pictures.
