    I’ve decided to get Runner ducks any advice for me?

    That’s a good set up! Oh I don’t expect my run to be beautiful just sturdy and practical. Thank you for all the tips.

    She did! I’m so glad I joined this group and gotten so many great tips from everyone. Yeah that big barn would’ve been nice to use! :( it belongs to the hardware store (right next to me). We have an antique shop we live underneath of but it’s still pretty quiet here other than some traffic on...

    I’ve decided to get Runner ducks any advice for me?

    I’ll be using hardware cloth on the top of their run and locking them in their coop at night for protection. Maybe I’ll keep a tarp up for the winter and not for summer. Could you send pictures of your tarp set up to block the wind? I know location would differ where it’d need to be. I hope I...

    I’ve decided to get Runner ducks any advice for me?

    Thank you for explaining the fender washers. I think I should have a tarp for them as well now (good point) at least for temporary use when I know it’ll rain and snow a decent amount (I guess I’ll use zip ties to fasten it as to not make it permanent) I want them to have enough sun when...

    That’s good, I’d prefer to get them in person as well. I looked online for local (within a few hours driving distance) from me and I’ve found no Indian Runner breeders so I don’t think I can go that route. I’m not exactly thrilled to get them via mail possibly dead or injured.

    What online hatchery did you buy your ducklings from?

    Thank you for sharing you experiences! Oh I saw the prices lol I only want three ducks it’s more pricey than all the others I’ve looked at. Their reviews are pretty good and the information they provide on their website surpassed the others I looked at. I wouldn’t mind passive but I don’t want...

    I just went on their website to check them out. What’s the difference (other than the appearance) of crested ducks?

    I’ve decided to get Runner ducks any advice for me?

    Thank you for taking the time to leave such detailed advice; it’s much appreciated. My town law is to keep livestock/coops 100ft from another residence and they only allow a small flock. I don’t plan on having more than three ducks and where their coop/run will be is further than 100ft from...

    What online hatchery did you buy your ducklings from?

    Hello. I’m planing on ordering 3 female runner ducklings in the next couple of months. Possibly hatching eggs. I’ve been looking into Metzer Farms and Cackle Hatchery. Have you received ducks from either one; and if so what was your experience like? Are there other good hatcheries you can...

    I’ve decided to get Runner ducks any advice for me?

    I’m having a hard time visualizing it too lol. The area where it’s going to be is a mess right now and with the crappy weather and with my man being so busy he hasn’t had the time to clean up and organize his scrap wood and tools :( he’s a contracter and jack of all trades- busy busy! We still...

    Sorry! I just noticed your reply now. Yes; you’re right I should make it at least my height. Great tips. I noticed Hardware cloth is kind of expensive at Lowe’s/Home Depot; where did you get yours? I find it strange how much the prices vary for different types of wire fencing. I love the idea of...
