Hello.
On OCTOBER 14th, I have received two Yellow Belly Indian Runner ducks home : I had, in fact, asked for Apricot Trout (Saxony) coloured Indian Runners, but the seller did not have them anymore... and so, she has sent Yellow Belly ducks instead.
Specifically, she told me they were "à...

I was told two of the ducks we just got are lavender and white spotted Indian runner ducks. I can’t find anything about that color/breed of runner duck, is there an other name for this color?
My drake dandy had this weird bump on the top of his wing, has another duck just pulled his feathers out or is it something more serious?
He’s a male Indian runner duck coming up to 2 years old.
She usually has a normal faster than the other ducks quack. She is my only runner. Within the last week I've noticed it sounding odd and squeaky like when their voice starts to change but she seemed to have a pretty solid quack, a young girl quack but still a quack. Today she started sounding...

Hi all!
This is my first year with adult runner ducks. I have 8 ladies. Last week, we didn't collect eggs regularly due to crazy work schedules. One of my ducks, pebbles, became what we thought was broody. She was severely agitated and rarely left the nest. I started collecting the eggs again...

Hi all!
I noticed today that my black Indian Runner duck, Poe, is tucking her leg up when she stands. I noticed slight limping and inspected her feet. I noticed a tiny bump on the top of her foot. We have bees, so I suppose it could be a bee sting? I see no visible injuries or bumble foot on...
I'm unsure as to what this colour is called. It was suggested to me that it may be Silver but upon googling it looks like Silver runners are more similar to the colouration of a Welsh Harlequin.
Any insight would be appreciated. I've also added some cute pics of her as a wee duckling...
