indian runner

I purchased 6 straight run indian runner ducklings off of craigslist this spring, they were hatched on mother's day from a mallard runner drake, a fawn hen and a blue hen. It looks like we had 3 males and 3 females judging by the tail curl. Lots of different colors! I found it hard to voice sex...

Hello all Looking for some help Have four Rouen and a Indian runner who I thought when a duckling was a pekin. Bought the four and couldn’t leave her there all alone. Would like to find a friend for the ugly duckling, lol locally

Ok, I got "Blacky" picked up and separated. The loud quacking in the background are my 2 females offended that I picked this one up. I tried to walk away and they followed lol. I currently have 2 females and 1 male, I'm pretty sure. This one is about 4 days younger than the rest. So still not...

We have some 2.5 week old Indian Runner ducklings. They have dry patches around their eyes and wings. Is this normal for loosing their baby feathers? They don’t look as full as our other ducklings did at this age. I don’t see any mites but I’m not sure how tiny the mites are.

My Indian runner duck has made a nest and has randomly sat in the nest for a while but there is now 20 eggs in there and she is still not sitting on it full time. She moves the eggs around and keeps laying in the nest. Before she created this nest she would lay all over. I do date the eggs...

I woke up 2 hours ago so I apologize if my wording isn't correct. Not sure when it actually started but when I went to lock up the birds for the night, I decided to check underneath Mouse to see how the egg was doing. While I was candling it, I saw the internal pip! I quickly but carefully...

Hi everyone, this is my first post so hopefully I manage to land it in the right place and get everything right! I was hoping some of the duck experts on here might be able to help. We bought some lovely ducks from our local farm advertised as ‘Indian Runners’ at about 6 weeks old in August...

Hello, so I have a fawn and white runner drake, blue runner hen, fawn and white runner hen, and 2 chocolate runner hens. What colors would I get from the FW runner drake x Chocolate runner hen, FW runner drake x blue runner hen? I'm just getting into genetics for ducks so any information on that...

I have one Indian runner female duck that I have noticed has a large “jiggly” crop area. Has anyone on here had to help their duck clear their crop? I’ve read where some people make them throw up, but I’m scared it may hurt her. I noticed it looked full and jiggly yesterday, but I didn’t think...

Hey everyone, I’m going to pick up these black beauties on Saturday. She said ALL of these ducks were sold to her when they were ducklings as Indian Runners... I’m thinking the black ones are actually Cayuga’s? Thoughts? She’s also stated that one is male and one is female (not yet old enough...

Hi, I have three sweet 5 week old babies I chose from a mixed straight run at a feed store when they were a few days old. I thought I was getting a Pekin, a Crested Buff and a Magpie. Now I'm thinking I have a Pekin, a Crested Indian Runner and maybe a Magpie? I'm curious about her/his feet...

Edit: I live in East Tennessee Hello. I'm quite excited as I've finally convinced my parents to let me increase my flock. After a lot of research, I'd like to add some black Runner ducks to my flock of three ducks. (it was a larger flock, but we've had a few tragedies) I’d really like to hatch...

Hello! I reenact colonial America (1775). I’d like to get some Runners so I can bring one with me when I go all dressed up. I can't find any mention of them before 1830, which was when they were imported to the UK, or so I’ve heard. I’ve also heard that they’re actually native to Asia, and...
