thats what I was thinking but wast sure, it was the only one they had like that but no info on it, it doesnt have the big white chest, it has some sporadic white running through the chest but mostly silver. very cool looking duck :)

exciting ! the ducks we got last year started laying this year and they just hatched 4 babies a few weeks ago :) in the picture with all the ducks does anyone know what kind of duck the silver one on the far left is? we brought home some more this year from tractor supply also and one turned...

It's pretty amazing the difference in these ducks and all the others we have had. first, we had ordered 6 ducklings and we raised them and ended up giving 3 to a friend and replaced those 3 with 3 more from tractor supply because they were so darn cute but what I'm getting at is they were all...

4 out of 5 hatched today while we were at work :) I tried to split them in the pen when I got home but they were not having it so I let them back together and everything seems fine. all the other ducks dont really care as long as they are close by but these 2 cant do anything without the other...

ya I can just run some more fence in there and make a couple 10x10 spots that way they can see each other and be close. Ive got it in 3 sections now but can easily make it 4 :) we just noticed the shells craking and falling apart yesterday evening, not sure how long its been since they started...

:D cant wait !

During the day they sit together and then at night the runner scoots into the nest a little deeper and the bigger buff will lay half on top of her and start to cover the runner duck with straw Im guessing to block the wind and keep them all warm. I just took the picture this morning and was...

I will thank you for the advice we are hoping for the best Im running out of places to separate ducks lol these females have been so cute and working so hard together Id hate to have keep them all apart

ok awesome thank you for the quick reply. I dint think it would be a problem with the mothers. they actually didnt like the newer ones when we first got them but they came around and very much obssed with thier eggs so I figured they would be safe. Ill seperate the juviniles from the 2 broody...

so we have 2 females that started laying this year and for the past month been sitting on eggs. they are sharing the nest. they literally sit on top of each other never moving unless to go eat real fast. well today I went to look at everything not expecting much and to my surprise the shells on...

I put my ducklings out this year right around a month old and it was still getting down in the 20's at night. last winter I put some out around the same age and it just got colder naturally and they were fine. I think yours will be fine as long as you can keep the wind off them and they have...

thanks for the reply maybe Ill let them run around tonight and just see what happens. maybe if I just let it happen and only intervene if it looks really bad he will get over it finally. he is a really good duck and is really the most friendly oddly. he loves to be held by me or my wife and...

we grabbed a few new ducklings about 2 months ago and our drake still wont stop trying to kill them and they are basically the size of our other females in the group or bigger than the runner duck that he is used to. the new ducks are fine when they are just with the females and one of the new...

ok so we have been planning a move and so far so good but now we are a week away and one of my runner ducks decided to start collecting her eggs in a nest and for the past week or two, she hasn't really moved off her eggs. she hasn't cared about her eggs of course until now when we want to move...

Ive got a few females and none of them seem to care about the eggs, all but the runner and she is a little confusing. there were probably 20 eggs in the duck house so I took them out thiking they didnt want anything to do with them, the very next morning she had pulled all the straw to one...
