Is my Duck too big for 2 weeks old?!?

[talkhorsesducks]

Hey, I have a little yellow duckling that just hit 2 weeks old. She’s HUGE!! I own the parents birds and I don’t remember them getting so big so fast. My other ducklings are way smaller than her but they all are growing fast. She is not as active on her feet as the others but will still walk/run if she wants to go somewhere. Am I doing something wrong? Am I feeding too much? Please help, thanks!

She looks good to me. What breeds are her parents? She looks like a jumbo Pekin - lol! Just make sure she's getting enough niacin.

Adorable!

Ducklings grow incredibly fast. What are you feeding them? Make sure they are getting enough niacin to keep their little legs strong.

Her parents are Ancona/welsh harlequin/khaki Campbell haha she might have jumbo pekin in there! Thank you! Yes I have an extra niacin duckling supplement that just came in for them today. Thanks again!

They are on duck starter and a niacin supplement for ducklings! Thank you for the reply!

I’ll have to update! On her path she’s going to be bigger than her mom!

She almost looks goose sized. Love it! It'll be fun to see her waddling around, dwarfing her siblings and parents!

What's her name??? I'm feeling Bertha or something similar.

I have a Pekin mom on the smaller side of Pekin and khaki dad
They had a batch of 5 babies at Xmas time
The 2 boys are bigger than mom and the 3 girls are small like dad
My guess is maybe he will be a drake and that’s why he is bigger now ?
Keep us posted
