Is it normal? Ducklings seem lazy

[Krazyquilts]

I have a flock of 4-week old silver appleyards, but this is my first time raising ducks. Previously I have only raised chickens, so my expectations may be misinformed.

Compared to my chickens the ducks seem lazy. They lay down all the time, and will even plop down in front of the feeder and waterer. They grew super fast compared to the chickens too. Is that normal?

They all can walk, and they don’t seem distressed. They seem to be reasonably coordinated considering that they are basically wearing scuba flippers. Their legs appear straight, but they just seem to stay off of them whenever they can.

They are tired! It's hard work being that cute!

As others have said, as long as they have proper nutrition (especially enough niacin!!!), they are probably fine. Ducks are more chill and laid back than chickens.
