    Indian Runner ducklings: Blue female x Fawn & White male ducklings

    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.

    Mites, Molting or Something Else

    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.

    Indian Runner with a really large crop? Normal?

    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?
