Just a few questions

[Duckydoo]

So, my baby muscovy is doing fine, as far as I can tell. He/she is about 2 weeks old. Growing like a weed.
I do have a few questions, though.
First, her feet are peeling. I assume that's just because she's growing so fast. But they're peeling a lot. Not like cracked or bleeding or anything. Just...peeling. Like after a sunburn.
Second, she eats her feed just fine. But when I give her grass, weeds, vegetables, etc, she really wants nothing to do with them, no matter how tiny I chop them. She loves to eat bugs that I find for her, such as ants, worms, baby slugs, potato bugs and the occasional gnat that flies by. But she won't eat her veggies! I've read that they love greens...but she just won't eat them. *EDIT* nvm. She ate her veggies during the night. Guess she likes them now.
Third (the thing that worries me most) is that she seems to always be laying down. She'll follow me around the yard, but as soon as she catches up to me, she lays down. She'll walk to her food & water, then lay down to eat or drink. She'll get a blast of energy and run in circles (it's hilarious. she looks insane and usually bumps into things.) but then she just...lays down. She just seems to be laying down A LOT and I'm kind of worried.

So, I'm just wondering if these things are normal. I love her a ton and I hope she's okay.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have no idea about the peeling feet. Doesn't sound like anything we have had with ours. Maybe a nutrient deficiency. Anyone? There are liquid nutrient suppliments availible at most feed stores. Poulty nutrient. Just add a few drops to the ducklings water. Also make sure its bedding is dry. Although they are ducks, they cannot tolerate constant moisture on their feet.

The sitting down may be because it is a drakelett. Our are really lazy and will sit given the chance, even in the feed dish, usually their favorite place actually.  Sounds like a lucky duck to have an owner who cares so much for it.

Well that's a bummer. I was hoping it was a girl. But oh well, good to know that nothing is really wrong with him.
I change his bedding every day, so it must be the nutrients. I will look into that.
Thank you.

I didn't say it WAS a male, just that they seem to lay down alot. Look at it's feet at about  5-6 weeks. the femals have really small feet while the drakes have the typical donald duck gunboots. The caruncles will come in before the flight feathers also if it is a male. Harder to tell if nothing to compare it to, like siblings. Eventually you will be sure, but it can be hard to wait.
