My Runners (Lots of Pics & Video)

Since everyone else seems to be making topics to show off their ducks, I thought I would too I was also wondering if anyone knew what colour varieties the young ones are...

I got my first two in April '09, we originally hoped for a male and a female and called them Olive and Toby, but both turned out to be boys.

Toby


Together


Swimming



In around late March, both started to become very aggressive and frisky, and after trying various things to calm them down, we settled on getting females, which we got in early June '10 They are now around 12 weeks old.

Lily


Nugget


Phoebe


Honey


Together


And again


Sitting

Hope you like them I sure do

Thanks They are lovely, and they are so entertaining! You're right about the boys being happy when they meet the girls They have seen each other through the glass, that's all so far. I'm going to see if this works, then you can see them running etc



Ah, it won't show the video in here but that pic is a link so check out the video, very cute if I do say so myself

Any idea of colours anyone? Nugget and Honey have basically the same pattern but Honey is a bit lighter than Nugget, do you think they're the same colour type with just one being a bit lighter or do you think they're actually two different colour types which have similar looking females? They're all starting to moult now too, they might even change to a completely different colour!

Pebbles is very cute They do look similar, never really heard much about Apricot Dusky but sounds interesting lol

Nugget is moulting loads, her feathers are everywhere! I thought she would be a Grey like Olive but Olive had very dark brown on the inside of the feathers with lighter brown outside, whereas like L0rraine said (thanks for the compliments ) Nugget and Honey both have a sort of blue on the inside of their feathers...? Any idea what they'll be?
