    Chicken Killed in Bizarre Way in Day. Ideas?

    Show off your Indian Runners!

    Sorry that you lost a runner--we lost one too a few months ago; couldn't figure why since all were from same hatch, and none of the others were ill. Thanks for the photos--adorable. Finally able to upload Bobby (long neck) and the girls:

    Show off your Indian Runners!

    Our Indian Runners enjoy their favorite treat: watermelon! Our drake is such a gent--lets all his ladies eat first. But he's always first into the water when they are let out of their house in the morning. We love them for their antics, and they are very faithful layers of eggs which we donate...

    Saxony Duck Thread!

    Thanks for your detailed response--very helpful. Our two ducklings have graduated to the teen area, so it's time to start introducing them to duck life. When we construct our slide, we'll post pictures--so funny. I remember our ducks acting like children and kept going up the steps and down the...

    Saxony Duck Thread!

    How adorable--wonderful photos. At what age are the ducklings (those hatched in an incubator) when you introduce them to the adults? BTW, years ago when we had a bunch of duck breeds together, we had a large kiddie pool complete with steps and slide. They would waddle up the steps and slide into...

    Saxony Duck Thread!

    That's really good news! And I appreciate the mention of problem of keeping ducks on concrete flooring--our ducks are in the barn for the worst of winter (in PA), which has a concrete floor, so we'll be sure to have sufficient straw and bedding for them. Last winter we had no problem getting hay...

    Saxony Duck Thread!

    Wonderful to see more interest in Saxonies; and we can all learn from the experience of others. I wonder if anyone has experience with raising other duck breeds, to compare them. We are setting our first hatch of Indian Runners--will be Interesting to see how they compare to hatching Saxonies...

    Saxony Duck Thread!

    Here are the boys; they're losing color a little, but will return in all their splendor near fall. They really stick together, move as one. Trouble is, they can't decide who is leader, so they spend a lot of time running back and forth, going nowhere in particular. They like to sleep in a...

    Indian Runner Drakes Free to Good Home South Central Pennsylvania

    Where are you located? I'm leery of shipping ducks too far these days due to delays at the post office--so many processing centers have closed.

    Indian Runner Drakes Free to Good Home South Central Pennsylvania

    We've hand raised straight run Indian Runner ducks, fawn and white, since late spring, and now find we have too many drakes. Known as "clowns of the duck world," these characters show good temperament, go after bugs, are fun to watch. These guys do best with other ducks. Located in NW York...
