The khaki-Campbell duck Thread !!!!!!!!

Pics
She will be 3 weeks on wednesday. She is a big girl. LOL Maybe boy, hoping girl. I see little shoulder feathers coming in that look kinda dark and I hear a little raspy quack sometimes. Time will tell. Her name is Scrappy.

How is Scrappy doing tonite?

She's doing pretty good. She thinks she is a chicken. Having 7 crazy EE sisters makes being a duck confusing. I hear a sneeze here and there, but I think she is just not cleaning her bill out as often as she should. She has a butter container with water for cleaning.

Hello, I'm new here! We just got 3 khaki Campbell ducklings from TSC last week. We were told they were born on st Patrick's day, so we got them when they were 3 days old.
Here's a pic from the ride home...they were a little camera shy Lol.

Do Khaki's all start feathering in the same color? Or is there a difference in male and female? My 3 week old is getting brown, sort of partridge colored feathers. I'm new with ducks, so I didn't know if they were like chickens and you can tell sex when the feathers start coming in.
 
Anyone know how long would take KCs to recover from bowlegging ect from niacin deficiency??? I switched to dumar from flock raiser, adding niacin to water, and supplementing poultry drench. I've had ducklings over two weeks, two already seeming bad off when got and rest not too good, but dozens were piled on top of each other in one tub for warmth so assumed just cold or squished after sales woman pulled them out of big pile. They seem starting to feather just barely, one has stomach skin skinned off in big swath but he is biggest and am applying antibiotics.

By 2 weeks, I'd certainly think you would already be seeing improvement if the issue were Niacin deficiency. I'm sorry but might be something else, you might want to start a new thread and include pics. I'm sure you could add them here too. I'm sorry but I'm not sure what to tell you is going on with your ducklings. The stomach part has me puzzled.
