Walker's Indian Runner Tribe

[Sunshineagh]

I will be looking forward to seeing more posts from you. I did not get them from Metzer's though I will be looking into them. My husband ordered mine from Cackle Hatchery. They will be fawn & white! I know I'm going to love them!

@Sunshineagh - Oh ok, sorry for assuming! I looked at their site and their fawn/whites are actually pecilled! Which is basically the same thing but their heads have black coloring. Very cool! How many are you getting?

Another Mini Update: We took a trip to grandma's! Last night was the last cold night for awhile so since we have their house done we just set them up in their house. It was about 57F degrees and foggy so as you can guess I was a nervous wreck! But they had their heat lamp and their house is really warm so it turned out ok.

Today and for the next few days it's supposed to be in the 80's during the day and high 60's at night. We are working on securing the run so we can let them out for awhile.

@Miss Lydia - We're still here, haha! I just never have my phone when we go out to their pen but I'll get pictures.

They like their house! They aren't allowed outside (besides in a smaller pen) yet because we're still working on their run. I need to get my grandpa to make a wire door for their house so on days like today (it's so hot!) We can leave the door open.

My main concern here is their barn cat...he's a killer. But we've made sure their house is bullet proof lol.

@Miss Lydia - Thank you, I'm trying my best!

And yes I will get pictures. Wouldn't you know I forgot my phone every single time I went out there today! :/

 

[Sunshineagh]

I may be late, but I'm loving the videos and pics!! I cannot wait til ours come in!!

It's about time!
I'm sorry for it taking so long but Grandma has so much work to do, we're always busy. There's no food and water in there because I just took it out to clean their shavings. Not sure if it was visible, but there's a heat lamp on the top right.

Not sure on the house's exact size, I'll have to ask my grandpa. My grandparents used to have pygmy goats so the shed used to be for them but it's been converted for the ducks.

I'm gonna get a light out there for night time checkups lol it's so dark at night. We're also gonna build a wire door.
