    Experience with Runner Ducks

    Never heard of it in water. I get a bag and add to feed.

    Experience with Runner Ducks

    I lied, my old man said we are not rich enough for organic feed. (Whoops) lol My ducks are so laid back. My male is almost shy. I just love them to death!

    November Hatch-A-Long (2014)

    I had separated my maybe from my viable. One exploded in the bator. I have one more duck egg to go and I'm done. Ready to clean that sucker out. Have one vent hole open and want to puke every time I walk past it. I feel bad for the duck in there

    Experience with Runner Ducks

    I also use organic layer pellets and oyster shell, she has not started laying as of yet, they have a huge pond and unlimited supply of feed. I have a small 'bird barn' that has pine needles. We live in the middle of a bunch of pines. A third of the yard is pines they hang out there a lot...

    They are adorable! I can't get a good pic of mine unless I take them out of their brooder. The head lamp makes them look Orange.

    How is your chick doing? One of mine died the other is thriving and with the other chicks now. Didn't have any corn starch when I looked so used baking powder. Worked like a charm.

    Muscovy hatching help

    I don't have muscovys, but did just hatch 7 of 9 the other two are pipped. In my honest opinion I would not stagger hatch unless you have 2 bators. I have done it. The humidity for the last 3 days needs to be between 65 and 70. In the beginning it needs to be lower than 60. Everyone varies on...

    Experience with Runner Ducks

    I am wanting to exclusively have runner ducks and hatch their eggs. I am about a year in with ducks in general but still consider myself a newbie. I currently have a pair of American fawn and whites. I originally got them because they were just too good of a deal to pass up, but now that I have...

    Good morning! I had 7 chicks hatch over night. I am a little nervous about the eggs rolling around they were. I still have 2 duck babies that have yet to hatch they are both moving just taking their sweet time. One of the babies that still had the yolk must have been picked on, or his little...

    Thank you. I will just join the waiting game now. I'm hoping this is a fluke and I don't have this happen again. It's been nerve wracking. The last 2 are cuddled up and sleeping. It just shocks me how strong they are even with everything going on. I'll have to give the corn starch a go, then I'm...

    Mine looks similar with the butt part. How long did it take it to absorb the yolk or did it fall off? They still have red blood vessels everywhere on it.
