runner duck

We have 2 blue runners and a fawn and white runner in our flock. Total of 12 hens. We are currently getting about 5 eggs a day and are certain who 2 of the eggs belong to but we just started getting a much smaller egg. Maybe size of chicken egg and it almost has a green tint to it. We tried to...

Hello! I was wondering if anyone has or knows where to buy Butterscotch Call ducks or Apricot Trout Runner ducks in Canada? I would like to get some hatching eggs or day old/close to ducklings if possible I’ve googled about the breeds and would like to learn more, and have some of my own some...

My boy Frances is almost 10 months old. He struggled to hatch alone due to humidity problems in the incubator, so we helped him out. He was born with a slight limp, which at first we thought was just due to him struggling to hatch, but as he grew it never changed. I did so much research online...

I have 6 runner ducks and 5 ISA brown hens, who I spoil very much with small amounts of fresh fruit and veg almost every day. I always check online to make sure that anything I'm planning on letting my flock try is safe for them. Giving them their treats has actually improved my mental health...

Hi Everyone! We are new to the world of poultry. We have 3 female khakis, 2 male runners, and 1 female runner. They are roughly 8 months old. They eat scratch and peck organic soy/corn free layer feed which we feed to both our chickens and ducks. They free range during the day in a large fenced...

My Runner duck Storm is 6 months old and I noticed this bald patch around her eyes and down her neck. She's the only one with the bald patch, my other girls and boys are fine. I have also noticed my ducks are molting their feathers, along with my chickens, which I suppose is down to it coming up...

Hi guys! I have previously posted about my lovely 6 runner ducks, who are now 4 months old! We have been working on handling the ducks more as they have started to show more interest in us. The other day,my partner filled a dog bowl with some water for the ducks to drink from. He was splashing...

Hi all! My runner drake dislocated his hock yesterday. I was standing there when it happened. He was laying down and stretched his leg behind him and the leg then stayed that way when he tried to get up. I picked him up to try to see what the problem was and I felt the hock pop back in. I took...

I just noticed this strange spot on my runner ducks bill. It puckers around the edges, there’s no bleeding or oozing. She’s eating and drinking fine and has lots of energy. My other duck seems fine. Anyone seen this before? Any ideas? Should I be contacting a vet?

We began our adventure by relocating from the city to our 3 acre slice of paradise. We started raising chickens about 3 years ago. We started with RIR and BR. We were hooked! We‘ve added Buff Orphington, Silver laced Wyandotte, Australorp, Gold laced Wyandotte, Speckled Sussex, Cuckoo Maran &...

I have a lovely Muscovy girl that I believe is being overmated by one of our runner drakes. He constantly follows her around and mates with her. He first tried in the pool but I think he couldn’t, erm, make it work mechanically, so now he chases her around on land. I didn’t realize he was...

We have two male khaki campbell named Ashten and Marten and a female blue runner named Diamond for sale. the history on them is the khaki campbell were surrendered and the blue runner was dumped. I am adopting them out because I need room for easter rescues. I do have four female rouen mix...

I recently purchased up 2 Indian runners and the male doesn’t seem to be able to walk properly, I rang the person I purchased him from and he told me there was nothing wrong with him when I picked him up, he was in a box so I didn’t get to see him running around. He seemed to think it’s because...

Hello, sorry I haven't introduced myself in the new members section, but I promise I will when all this calms down... I need urgent guidance. We live in South West Scotland, Uk and there is no poultry vet specialist around here. I have 4 ducks and 1 drake, all runners. I have hatched myself the...

We had an amazingly successful duckling hatch last week- so much so that we have more ducks than we need or want! The ducks are straight run (we’re not confident enough to try to sex them ourselves) and are a mix of mostly rouen and various runners. They hatched between 12/1-12/3 so they’re a...

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...

Hi there! So I have two 12-week old runners, one drake one duck**, and I am having a tough time giving them grit. I have tried to keep it out and available to them, but they either get food and water mixed up in it OR when I separate it from their food, they poop in it. I will probably end up...
