I think @Baymule is corrupting @CntryBoy777. He was just an innocent until he joined BYH!

I've been meaning to ask ya DV about your khaki girls, I'm sure they are really growing....aren't they about 4-5wks now?

About the niacin. I have raised a few ducks and never supplemented them but I know that if I raise guineas they will have leg problems if I don't raise them on game bird starter. Sometimes I raise chicks and keets at the same time so someone told me to mix game bird starter and chick starter. The guineas will get what they need and the chicks won't get too much niacin. The game bird starter is higher in niacin than the chick feed so maybe you could do this for ducks too.

Our Khaki girls and their drake are doing well. Interesting thing, though . . . We have at least two of the ducklings, that are huge and a few of them seem a lot smaller. I'm not sure what's going on there.

Yes, they are 4 weeks old. We are planning to move them outside today. We still have the separate pen, that we made, in the corner of the chicken yard. So, we will put them in there with the black cement mixing tub, for a swimming pool. I'm looking forward to watching them enjoy playing in water for the first time.

I took this the other day. It's kind of hard to get a decent photo of them. Whenever we go in the barn, to check on them, the panic and pack into the corner.

if you look closely, you can see the biggest two in the corner and one of the smallest ones in the front.

Oh how Darling!!.....our little one, we call Li'l Bit is a real fiesty little thing and will not hesitate to stand her ground with the much bigger Rouens. I'm sure they will come "Alive" when those little webs hit the water.....

I'm not a duck person but is there a considerable size difference between males and females? That might account for the size difference.
