He’s bigger than the same ducks his age (all blue runners) but the older ducks his size have had zero difficulties… but I can agree that extra niacin never hurts.
Hey everybody!
Thanks in advance for any answers/advice.
I have a five month old drake who’s hatched out of my own mixed flock. Paternity wise he’s Cayuga but Maternally, he could either be F&W Runner or Silver Appleyard.
He does have angel wing which attempts in correction did not help - but...
Hey everybody!
Introducing my “light-fixed wing” addition to my flock (they will all be named after aircraft; bonnie (bonanza), cirrus, piper, otter, and cessna, given out once their personalities come out more 🤣).
Now, I have one sweet babe who has presented with issues. One day she had a...
Generally, the babes won’t absorb their yolk sacks until they pip through the shell- hence why it takes so long for ducklings to unzip. I’ve never hatched chickens so I’m unsure if that’s the same with process with them.
With both of my batches of ducklings, I’ve always dropped the temp a...
I still have nothing but good things to say about Metzer! I got all the babes I ordered and they think it was just a packaging error either in their shipping department or an escapee at the post office ☺️
He’s happy, hungry (bottomless pit 🤣), and growing like a weed!
Sorta crying, I LOVE Maine (biannual visitor and Maine Conservation Corps Alumni) and wish I was there 😭 but am in Wyoming! “Goostavo” has very, very much grown on my heart and has one heck of a personality 💕
Sorry to hear about your losses though! I’ve heard quite a bit of issues with babes...
My little blues run laps around the thing I swear! I’m quick to worry with with them, especially this one because it’s beyond attached to us and it’s the sweetest baby. Good to hear your thoughts on this one and thank you! 💕
I’m truly stumped.

This spring we let my broody fawn and white runner sit on a nest, producing two eggs around three days till hatch. The eggs were taken out of the coup and put in an incubator due to their being Drakes, but sadly only one egg ended up hatching, producing a gorgeous...
No apologies needed! I’ve always had an incredible experience with Metzer farms and this is one of them, intentional or not! Little Goose has quite the personality and will make a lovely addition to my flock, so will the bonus duckling! 💕
It was just thrown in there! I got all the little babes I ordered and then some… I know wild geese are mate birds, is it better to wait and know the gender of this little one and try and find one of the opposite or just get another one asap?
I already have a small zoo including a tortoise...
