    Runner ducks Boys or girls?? Need help identifying

    They all make noise at once and I live on a highway so I can never tell who sounds like what lol. That and they always run away. So just that little flick up is considered a curl. Maybe I will grab a milk crate and go sit out there with them for a bit this week and see what I notice.... Thank you
