Mallard colored Indian Runner duck with darker feathering.
Howdy! I am just beginning to breed Indian Runner Ducks and I still have a lot to learn about color genetics. For the second time I have gotten a duckling with darker feathers and penciling than the others. In all honesty this duck may not be purebred like the others, but really my question is...- Ridge Runner Duck Farm

Newly acquired runner ducks with possible Wet Feather
I acquired 2x 4 year old runner ducks yesterday and now realise they don't appear to have any oil on their feathers. They don't dry out after bathing and re constantly damp and their feathers are generally in poor condition. I've read a number of articles about blocked oil glands and Wet... -
Runner ducks
I want to get four female ducklings: a fawn/white runner, a magpie, a Cayuga, and a white egg layer. Unfortunately, the runner stands differently than most ducks do. Would the other ducks bully her for that difference or would they not mind? Or does it depend on the temperament? This brings up...- MeoWusical

Advice for a disabled duck
Hi everyone! A few years back I posted about a runner duck of mine called Frances. He was born with a limp, which after a vet appointment we discovered was caused by hip dysplasia. His vet said it was the first time she had seen it in a duck. If it was a cat or a dog they would perform a hip...- MolliMonster99

Help- how to settle runner ducks?
Hi, I have 5 egg laying hens, and last friday I bought 3 female runner ducks. The ducks were mental when they arrived and huddled in the corner of the shed (there is a shed inside the fox-proof chicken run I lock the birds at night, with coop and lots of shelves they can perch on ) and they're... -

Adding duck enclosure to chicken coop
Hey everyone! Needing some insight on adding a duck enclosure to an existing chicken coop. We will have 2-3 runner ducks in here. All chickens and ducks freely free range during the day so this would just be for nighttime. We have an automatic door. So far this rough estimate is about 4.5’ x...- zoereef1221

Runner duck molting?
Hi everyone! My Runner duck Frances seems to be molting? He has a couple of bald spots on his wings and I can see he's got some new feathers starting to grow on the tips of his wings (you can see the feathers growing outwards).

Duck Head Bobbing?
So, I have noticed my male Runner ducks head bob quite often, which I read is a sign of them being flirty/happy. However, in the videos I've seen of ducks head bobbing, it's repetitive. My guys only do it once, then go back to normal? I've noticed they sometimes do it in sync too. Is this normal...- MolliMonster99

Runner Ducks Mating Season?
I have noticed my runners have started mating at almost 4 months old. The boys get on top of the girls in their pond and hold their necks down. It makes me anxious, but I know it is natural. I was wondering if ducks have a 'mating season'? Do they mate at a certain time of year only or is it a...- MolliMonster99

Ducks sniffing/sneezing/huffing?
I have a group of runner ducks, a mix of males and females. Today my partner was playing with one of the females, Storm, when she started making this huffing sound? It was like the sound dogs make when they are playing. All the other ducks started to join in with this noise. Is this a cause for...- MolliMonster99
