Mallard Duck Update.

Here is a 2 week update:  The Mallards have lost their duckling feathers what was that downy yellow color.  We changed their feed to an alfalfa pellet 21% protein and crushed cracked corn and added a little bran moist with water..  These guys love it!  Boy what a difference in less than 2 weeks. 

The below picture is 11 days earlier:

Here is a  picture 11 days later using the new feed:

I would probably say that they have doubled in weight.  From the above picture you can see that they are molting on their backs and the new feathers are coming in.  These Mallards are only 64 days old or just a at 9 weeks.
