I have a group of 3 week old ducklings - 1 Cayuga, 3 buffs, and 3 silvers. I have 7 other cayugas so I’m familiar with their tolerances.
Out of my group, I’ve noticed that my silvers are the first ones to start to get too hot. They have the same activity level as the others, so it’s definitely not them just running around crazy.
Just wondering if this is a common thing among silvers or if this is just my group.
I’ve not had issues with my Cayugas panting - the couple of times someone has panted it was easily fixed with them being misted.
Also, I've noticed that they sit oddly. They'll sit on their butt with their legs out front like a human as opposed to the normal duck sit. Out of all my ducks they are the only ones who have done this. Is this a normal thing for them?
