We just did that last night! Our smallest blue took to the water right away and went zooming!

What color is this? He is 6 weeks old tomorow.

I think you could probably call it silver or splash. What do the parents look like?

They may have a niacin deficiency, have you given them any brewers yeast or other form of niacin?

 

[Amiga]

Or they may be within the normal range... Do they have times of vigorous activity? What is their feed? Food with water 24/7?

 

[semmons]

They are on a waterfowl starter and I've been adding brewers yeast just to be safe. They do run back and forth in short bursts. They are 8 days old today.oh and yes. Food and water 24hrs a day

Semmons, they may be just fine. Keep an eye on them, they may just be resting like they need to.
