I suspect that Too likes Sam but she's putting him through his paces so that he'll get better more quickly. She likes her men to be strong and fit. I’m so happy to hear that they’re on the mend.

As for Silver Appleyards, well, we have one too, and yes, we think she's pretty much 'perfect". :) They’re looking terrific, thanks to your great care.

I didn't write it down when we were at the vet. But he should weigh about 8.5-9lbs when he is at full weight. See how his lower back puffs up in the photo where he's sitting down? That is because his chest muscles and the rest of him are too thin. His lower back shouldn't be the highest part on him. It's pretty weird. He's very very thin. Here's a photo of healthy silver appleyard ducks for comparison: http://www.geocities.com/markspoultry/silverAppleyardsMP.JPG He should look chubby like these ducks. I don't let ducks get quite that chubby because they can end up with leg issues. But this breed is a heavy breed, and that is "normal." Alyson: I’m not sure what Sam weighs now.
