Runner/kahki campbells duckling to adult colors?

[Awheller]

I recently got 3 ducks 2 obvious runners a blue and a black and one light brown I was told was a runner but once I got them home I was suspicious as her features were a little different. She doesn't stand as straight, she has a heavier waddle, her eyes are not placed as high and her marking are are different. From my investigation she is looking to be a Kahki Campbell.

Anywho I recently hatched some cross eggs and pure runner eggs. I came out with 8 nearly the same color, 4 brownish grey with a lighter chest which are the crossed and 4 a drarker brownish grey who are do not have as light of a chest and are a tad smaller in size, these are the pure runners. Then I got 2 black babies with yellow chests that came from the campell runner . Just curious if anyone knows what colors they may turn out to be

Thank you!

Your adult Campbell looking one does look like a Campbell, or at least a very close mix with some runner in her. It could be that she sees the others and wants to stand up straight as well. As for your babies, you'll just have to wait and see! (and that's the fun of it, isn't it?) The Khaki Campbell/runner crosses could end up looking like your adult Campbell, though. Pure runner looks like a chocolate to me.

Khaki Campbell's actually have Runner Duck in them so maybe the gene was more promenent in yours from the Runner. I just got two Fawn and White Runner ducklings born this past week and they are yellow with splotches of black around the eyes and head which I figure will be the tan and the rest the white. Good luck with yours, they sure are cute.

Thank you! I did learn that not too long after trying to figure out what she was haha. Yeah, so far I'm seeing mostly Runner in them for sure. I've done a couple hatches and my first hatch their little tail feathers are finally coming in looking like blues and blacks! I was able to depict who came out of what shell in the beginning but as they are growing its gotten harder they look so similar, but some don't stand quite as tall. They are just the sweetest I'm so happy to have them in our bird family!

Oh how precious they all are. My two baby Runners I got yesterday are going to be Fawn and White like their parents more than likely as that is what I wanted. I just am praying for girls!!! lol

I found mine on Craigslist. This is where I have gotten several of my birds. My first encounter was scary and I thought I was going to end up on Dateline but the other two have been just fine. I have also had people contact me when I was selling them from Craigslist and they were all very nice and it worked out well. I was wanting Fawn and White and they were on there for almost 3 weeks getting ready to hatch before I finally reached out to them. I really did not need more ducks but have always wanted these that remind me of not only bowling pins but also pinguins. lol
