What breed is this duckling?

[tnosidam]

I bought “call duck eggs” off of eBay and currently have one of the ducklings from that hatch. She is almost a month old and since about the first week I’ve been questioning if she’s really a call. The person I bought them from claimed he only had call ducks but my duckling is currently huge. The egg she hatched from was quite small, like chicken size or smaller, and it weighed 40g, so maybe she’s a mix? This is her just hatched, a few days old, 3 weeks old, and next to one of my week old Pekins. She weighed 359g on Saturday (3 weeks and 1 day).

My call ducks eggs weigh around 45 grams almost the same as my chickens, looks to be a Chocolate Call but its hard to tell by size so she could be a Khaki as @Jpat mentioned.

The Pekin ducklings have now outgrown her after 2 weeks. She has most of her feathers except on her wings and head. She hasn’t grown in size much since we got the other ducklings. This is her now.

They are all beautiful!

Pekins grow very fast. Hopefully they aren't showing signs of leg problems. It's pretty common since they are fast growers.

My biggest one walks a little funky when he’s trying to run but other than that they all seems pretty good. The two biggest were breathing pretty heavy for like a week but that seems to have passed. I used poultry respiratory care on them for a while. The call duck is pretty much fully feathered and is still very small so I think she’s actually a call.

It isn’t too late to get them on a liquid b complex to help sturdy up those legs.

If he is walking funny definitely get them started on B complex, This stuff work great- You can find it at most feed stores.
