Is this a gapeworm??
One of my runner ducks was separated from her flock and is a bit lethargic. We thought she might be having issues laying a big egg as she seemed to be straining. We brought her up to the house and gave her a soak in warm Epsom salt bath. No egg, but when we took her out, she had a black watery...- JennInIreland

Is this guy a juvenile drake ?
Hello friends, What do you think, is this guy, perchance, a juvenile mallard coloured runner boi? I was really hoping for one. He recently got these dark feathers coming in around his beak, which I'm hoping is the nuptial feathers. Do runners change their nuptial feathers every year ? He's 7... -

Feather damage - mites? During molt
Hello! My runner boys have being going through molting the past couple of weeks, and one of them looks the roughest of all by a lot (he was like that as a duckling as well, so I think his default is to look like bad taxidermy unfortunately) BUT, yesterday I noticed what looked like lice in the... -

Potential harlequin sneaked into batch of runners and gender question
Hi, I hatched 11 runner ducks but have noticed an odd duckling out. It gets pushed aside during feeding. It walks much slower than the rest of the flock and it doesn't like to follow me. It's scared of both me and the other ducks and because of that, it has niacin deficiency due to not being... -

Raging Mallard - Ducks Hate the Drake
Pancake my little mallard drake was bullying one of my geese relentlessly and I’ve followed this people on this site advice and separated them. So far, success. Also it turns out part of the problem was that they both feel they own me and so I now don’t pet them in each others view. But now a... -

Sneezing Runner Duck?

Breed identification of day-old ducklings
At TSC there were assorted ducklings. The ducklings appeared to be blue swedish, and maybe saxony or F&W runners today. I am NOT good with identifying ducklings (yet) so I stood there scrolling through several websites showcasing ducklings. I chose to buy what I think is an Ancona, and the is...- NewJourney

Runner Duck's sunken chest? Fighting?
This morning I noticed my one boy Runner's chest was looking different than normally and more obviously concave at the top. I'm still so new to owning ducks or birds in general, so sorry if this is a bit of a silly question. I kept an eye on him and he's eating and acting normal, but is the way... -
Are these duck nails normal? Or anything to worry about?
Hi! It's been a while since I've been in here, and I was curious for people's opinions of my boy's nails. Without looking closely they seem fine (and honestly, my initial instinct is that they are) but I'm new to having ducks so I want to have other other people's opinions. I never really... -
Runner is laying down a lot
One of my runners hurt her leg a little while back and I’ve had to put up our male since he kept making it worse. It has healed since then but now she lays around a lot more than normal but she walks just fine and keeps up with the other girls. She also seems to be molting so I don’t know if...- Boof_Macarooni
