Hey! That's brilliant!! I've been giving away ducklings to family's with children and I've been saying that they're call ducks! Now I don't feel so bad :D thanks for the research!
I'm sure it's just umbilical cord, how do I keep it clean? It just drags along behind her :\ she doesn't go outside or anything, just in a little box and on my lap :)
Hi everyone,

I didn't think I'd love ducks this much either! Indian runners are great :) 7 more in the spring? Sounds like a dream come true! Plus some new friends for Pearl x

We did have an Indian runner drake but he was a very excited young lad and would squish our female ducks which were much smaller than him, we rehomed him with bigger ducks ;)
