Hi I have been reading here on BYC about the crested Runner duck and would love to have one but I love to breed and I read the they have a problem! Is that true? If so I won't get any. I'm in to breed,sale,etc. Thanks for your time.
Good morning folks of BYC! My name is Trimurtisan, but to keep it easy, just call me Trim.
I did an introduction, but here's some more general information about myself and what's got me going quackers. I am a 36 year old father of eight, although only two of those happen to be human. We...
We have several ducks ready for adoption.
Pine is looking for a place to hang out for the rest of his life. He is a three year old muscovy male. He had a broken wing which has fully healed. He has a deformity in his wing and it will need to be clipped yearly at molt to prevent him from...

Hey there, my duck Lillian is expecting to hatch two babies . She's taking great care of her eggs, and as far as I can tell, the ducklings are in perfect health. My only question Is "When will she become a mother?!" I've been candling the eggs daily, but for some reason I cannot tell which...
My Runner drake has been mounting with Pekin duck, who is a willing and bossy partner, but it's been more than two weeks and I haven't found a single egg. Is it possible that he's just matured faster than she has? Or should I be concerned about her?
I recently purchased some ducklings from tractor supply. They were unable to tell me anything about their breed. I suspect that the dark colored ones are some sort of runner duck because of their upright stance? The yellow ones all look a bit different however. I would love help in knowing what...
Hi there,
I understand that a lot of people have problems adjusting to the normalcy of forced mating among ducks, however I was hoping someone could give me some advice. I currently have two drakes and two hens (Not how I planned it, I promise!) I noticed that the drakes have begun their process...
I have four runner ducks (two male and two female) and one Peking drake. The runners have just started trying to mate and I'm worried that if the Peking jumps in on this he will hurt the runners. If i get him a girlfriend his own size will he pair off? Or as long as he is together with the...
These are my two ducklings, Paige and Ethel. They will be 5 weeks old on Monday already! Time flies.. They are getting closer and closer to being able to live outside.. :celebrate
Update on Ethel (runner) :
Ethel's legs had been shaking and trembling for about 2 weeks straight, she couldn't...
Hello, i'm really worried and I don't know what to do:
I let the ducks out this morning, all was fine but about half an hour later, bubbles ( a 1.5yo female runner duck) who is normally VERY vocal and hyper, seemed very lethargic and very quiet, that was instant alarm bells.
I watched and she...
My 3-4 week old runner duckling, Waldo, has been itching around his beak a lot since I got him 5 days ago. Recently he has started sneezing more but I don’t think there is any discharge around his nose. He just acts differently to my other ducklings but he eats and drinks loads, runs around and...
Hi everyone, first post here and new to the forums. Finally decided to make an account after reading threads on here for months! We got chickens and ducks over Mother's Day weekend of 2017 and have been thoroughly enjoying ourselves with them every since. They're all so quirky and fun to watch...
Hi all!
I am a very proud owner of 2 female runners who are now 8 weeks old. Our runners seem very tame, are regularly handled, and often come inside the house to sit with us (by choice).
Recently, we have noticed that one of the girls sometimes does a very tense shake, then 'pounces' with...
Any advice would be welcome. I nursed her back to health for about 3 weeks from not being able to walk on both legs to walking fine and then suddenly a week or so later her right leg is weak again and she limps on it but not all the time it seems to be on and off. She also pants while the the...
