I'm in Northern Colorado. I need to re-home some Runners as well. With these babies I have 24 ducks total and it's more than I want to have. If I could find a good home with a pond where they could live to be old, happy geese, I would gladly re-home 2 Embden hens too, right now I can get a nice Toulouse gander to go with them.
 

3 chickens (hens), 5 geese (3 Embdens, 2 Toulouse), 24 ducks (5 Calls, 7 Call/Runner babies, 9 Runners, 1 Golden Welsh Harlequin, 1 Swedish Blue/Runner cross, 1 Khaki Campbell).

I am letting their Mom raise them, I have seen a hen who's ducklings were taken away from her and she was so desperate and frantic that it broke my heart. So Holly gets to keep them until they grow up, they'll probably be better birds for having the full 'Mom-training' anyway :-). There is an excellent chance that I will still have them by then and at that age I should be able to tell which ones are drakes. Keep me posted on your travel dates.
