I have a female Indian Runner who just went through a molt but her feathers stayed a yellow tint. After she grew all her new feathers I noticed she is molting again. What would cause this?

We have 9 indian runner ducks about 5 males and 4 females, we need to find a home for them, hopefully in pairs. about 2-3 years old, good layers, and last year we hatched out about 60% from their eggs. They are used to having a pond with live water stream that flows in and out year round...

Hello, friends! I have an almost 3yr-old Indian Runner (Onyx) that still has not had a full molt, and I'm a little worried. Her flight feathers and tail feathers are very raggedy. Her 'sisters' (the ones I got at the same time/age) have both molted in full, at least once. And my two originals...

First timer; scrambled to get an incubator together after my wonderful drake Allfather disappeared early Friday morning of the 19th of May 2023. I did a quick check at six days and had three out of three 'starters'. Much to my amazement, I didn't have a 'yolker' until number 25. So, out of 29...

Hey does my duckling look like a boy? Hoping she's a girl because she's loving my flock, but if she's a boy I am concerned about mating. She's in between 1 and 2 months so can't tell by the quack. Very new at ducks, maybe I just need to be patient

Hi, I have one female Indian runner, she has so far laid 27 eggs. She has made a nice nest for them and keeps laying eggs every 1-2 days. Even though she has made a nice nest for them she is not going broody or sitting on them. Any tips to get her sitting? Do I let her be and hope she starts...

I haven't seen any photos or much discussion on colors of mixed Indian Runners. Of course they won't be pure, show birds. But, thought others might be interested in seeing the variety. I'll post more photos when they grow their adult plumage.

Good morning, everyone! I live on a small lot (1/2 acre) and just checked and legally am allowed up to three POULTRY - which is "any domesticated fowl...etc etc." But it pretty clearly would allow for ducks, which I didn't realize until today. BUT there is a provision against roosters (if one...
