Ever since my female Black Runner started growing in her primary flight feathers, she's always held them awkwardly. I figured that she was just going through a weird phase but now her feathers are fully grown in and she still holds them out and doesn't tuck them. I did some research online and...
I want to get a White Runner drake for my flock eventually but, I can't seem to find anybody who sells White Runners. I don't want a Fawn & White Runner, just a solid white one. I've seen picture of them online and I know that in order to produce Blue Runners they need both Black and White...

Okay so update, I've been checking that one egg every single day with no luck of locating an air sac anywhere. I candled the egg again earlier today and to my surprise I finally was able to see an air sac! However, it's on the side of the egg and not at an end and, it is very small; about the...
