Our favorite runner (the only friendly one) made her nest outside the coop and I decided to just leave her be. Thing is, we’ve had a bad drought since she started sitting and the pond is nasty and nearly empty - I don’t want her taking babies in there. I’ve also been reading that they often...
Recently got 2 fawn and white runners( hatched on July 18th) that are almost 5 months old… I’m just curious as to when they should start laying. Also, we live in Alabama and have only yet had 2-3 days that have gotten below freezing, if that. Could that possibly throw them off to not lay until...
We were thrilled to welcome our first brood of 9 runners last weekend - and since then it’s been friggin holocaust. 😪 The first morning out of the duckhouse their mom decided to lead them far from our lovely pond to a neighbor’s pond for some reason. When I found them there were only six - of...
I'm interested in pairs of Exhibition quality Fawn and white Runners, white runners, Cayuga, Dutch Hookbills, Australian Spotted, Rouen, and Welsh Harlequins. Also looking for Pomeranian Geese and Pilgrim Geese in exhibition quality. These are for a preservation project, though offspring may be...
I have two female runners and one Pekin and one male runner. We just bought two new runners (4 months old) and the Drake is chasing them around and doing it's thing over and over. Is this normal? Will he eventually stop? I feel like they are being terrorized by the Drake.
Hi all, I have 3 beautiful loaded blueberry bushes that we've been enjoying a lot. They are in my duck run and surrounded by fencing and bird netting all over.
Once the berries are done producing I need to take down the netting and redo the fencing anyway and I've been wondering would it be OK...
Hello! I reenact colonial America (1775). I’d like to get some Runners so I can bring one with me when I go all dressed up.
I can't find any mention of them before 1830, which was when they were imported to the UK, or so I’ve heard. I’ve also heard that they’re actually native to Asia, and...
I just bought 2 ducklings from TSC today, because I couldn't resist. Im not sure what they are, but one of them kind of stands tall like a runner sometimes. But them I did a little googling and found that they also look like khaki campbells.

I am ready to place an order for ducklings, first time owner.
I’m having a tough time with a few decisions; ANY AND ALL ADVICE is welcome!!!
I want layers and meat. I am interested in having a large flock eventually.
I have narrowed it down to: RUNNERS, for eggs and garden duty.
I am...
Good afternoon quackers! My first post here and unfortunately it comes with sadness. My girls are about 10mo old. Yesterday I noticed one of my girls(runners) with labored open mouth breathing. She was always the runt of the sisters but still healthy. Checked her out, airway was clear but...
