Okay y’all, time to break this down.
I currently have a large adult mixed flock consisting of Cayuga's, Silver apple-yard, Black Swedish, Fawn and White Runners, a Rouen, and Khakis. I’m no stranger to the duck world.
I had five female blue runners ordered from Metzer farms scheduled to ship in May, but I had a broody momma that hatched only one egg, so I had them ship sooner so it wouldn’t be alone. They did say their runners were having a hard time with transit this year so they were going to add in a few extra babes just incase. I got my cheeping package this morning, which had six living birds in it with one that had passed from the journey…
All five of my blue runners are beautiful and doing incredible. There is a bonus little black duckling that I am assuming is a black runner based on its size (all of my previous Cayuga babes were a lot bigger), and this giant flippin’ yellow baby…. and I’m not even kidding y’all, I think it’s a goose.
I just need some outside opinions on if I am looking at a gosling or just a really large duckling
