*~*Runner Duck Club*~*
Thanks ! They're breathing, which is pretty much what I needed at this point. Now I'm just wondering who's going into bachelor's quarters or the hen pen, but that's a ways down the road. Right now they're spoiled rotten ducks . -
*~*Runner Duck Club*~*
I tossed my King Suro today. Despite having no faith in it anymore, I find I'm having a panic attack over parting with it simply because it cost me a lot. Fiddle . But two successive hatches with only two survivors apiece out of a combined 30+ eggs - despite doing everything but sacrificing my... -

You love runners, we love runners...I'd say you're already a member! -

Appreciated! Dandelion is always welcome, so now I have a good excuse . Off to research and amend my shopping list! -
*~*Runner Duck Club*~*
I want to plant a duck meadow so the runners can have salad along with their kibble, but I'm concerned about planting something that might not agree with them. I think I'm pretty safe with clovers, winter rye, and rye grass, but what about vetches and field peas? Also, does anybody have any... -

Thanks . You know, I do have a bottle of rum around here. It might work as well as whiskey (I have adolescents in the house. I'll take whatever help I can get .) -

I didn't cool the eggs off every day or spray them. I put them in the incubator, set temperature and humidity, and tried not to interfere too much. The goose was a pure impulse addition - my Buff goose had laid an egg the day I put the duck eggs in the incubator and my husband gave me the... -

Just got done with a hatching and I'm the usual post-hatch frazzled mess. My batch of Trout runners plus one last-minute American Buff goose was due Friday, but you know how these things go . Some started pipping Thursday just to give a head-start on hatching nerves, and there was the usual at... -

LOL, I usually get the more exotic Table Runner. On the bright side, my wonderful spouse has just said that if the Texans won't ship Trouties to California, then I should just go to Texas and get myself a dozen ducks. I still might have to sell a kidney to raise gas money but at least the... -
*~*Runner Duck Club*~*
The only place I have been able to find is a place just North of San Antonio, Texas. And they don't ship anything, not a hatching egg, not an adult bird. I have fantasies about winning the lottery and traveling to Texas - although it might be cheaper to import a breeding flock from England at... -

It doesn't often snow here in sunny Southern California, but when it does the ducks have a field day :). This is Seven, Clarence, Rowena, Silver Belle, and Qwib-qwib. Seven and Qwib-qwib are half Trout runner and half Saxony (their father was a very brave drake). The woman I got Clarence... -

To add, Rudy doesn't appear to be suffering. He's got a healthy appetite and has figured out he can stand up if he braces himself in the corner of his box, where he can catch a glimpse of his hens through the sliding glass door. Then he scolds me for not letting him out. If dedicated nursing can...- Sagibaro

****. And a few other unprintables. He's a sweetheart and I hate to lose him. Not to mention that I'm lousy at putting animals down - but, as I told the eldest child, the only open scenarios now are either I suffer a little bit or he suffers a whole lot, and a quick death is preferable to what...- Sagibaro
