Fearful runner ducks don't go outside
They're between 2,5 and 3 months now I'd say. I can't remember much about the quacking... I know they still do a lot of "peeping" like babies, but I'm pretty sure the majority do have a raspy sound... maybe even all three -_- -

ok, well then I guess I shouldn't bring in a drake until I know the sex of the three young ones, right? if it turns out they're not all females then I guess I'll have problems... I will try and find some adult females then to add to the band and hopefully get everyone to calm down a bit! -

Fearful runner ducks don't go outside

Fearful runner ducks don't go outside
Thank you all for your anwers, I can at least better understand their behavior. It's possible they did see a predator as we live at the edge of the woods and in the country so I'm sure there's plenty of animal action about. Miss Lydia I was only feeding them that because when I was giving more... -

Fearful runner ducks don't go outside
Hello runner duck owners, We recently adopted three runner ducks who were aged between 1.5 and 2 months when we got them. They've been with us for three weeks. They were and still are very frightened of people and try to run and hide at the slightest advance. Maybe after three weeks it's a...
