Hi Runner duck Mom! I see you received 3 new babies in Feb. Did you get them from a local hatchery or via mail (or other)? We're considering getting 2 more female runners and I've been researching hatcheries. Thanks!
I just love your avatar, what beautiful babies :) We ordered from Metzer farms. This was our 2nd time ordering from them and we've gotten healthy babies both times. The only downside is that they have a small order fee for less than 6 ducklings, so it ended up being about $75 for the 3. Would love to see your new babies if you decide to order :)
Thx for the reply! The Runner in your avatar is precious and looks a lot like our Gabby. We got them from TSC - unsexed and mixed breeds - we had no idea what we were getting. They are Pekin drake and a Runner duck. My concern is that he is so much bigger than her and may need other ladies to share his 'love' with later on LOL. I'm glad to hear about your positive experience with Metzer. Have a great weekend!
Our drake and our oldest female are super close, he doesn't pay much attention to our other two girls at all. Of course the female he likes is also our smallest girl. So far he's just been bobbing his head at her and she is not interested. Also worried as he is so much bigger than she is like your babies, time will tell. Lol, I see what people mean about ducks...you start with two and then 4 and then...
She is a fawn and white runner. We just received 3 new babies yesterday morning ( another fawn and white, one chocolate and one blue) and I'm sure I'll be posting pictures once they get all settled in. I am new to this site but have found so much helpful info here!
The way she’s just cocking her head and standing is just so cute! Yes please post pics I want to see the babies!
