This morning we discovered that our Runner, Brownie, had some blood; it's not a lot but it was on her foot and abdomen but as far as I can tell her foot is okay and the blood is just from her sitting on it.
All 4 ducks go into the same "hut" at night. My question is can one duck really hurt...
I thought that runners were not flight ducks! Everything I have read says no but our fawn & white runner just flew over my husband's head (he's 5'6") to get away from one of the dogs. We have 6' fences.
The thing is she's only 11 weeks old. Am I going to have to clip her wings or was this a...
We have 4 total, 2 are 9 weeks and 2 are 6 weeks old. The older girls are mean to the younger girls! The oldest Pekin chases the younger girls around, kicks them out of the pool, has tried to drown them, and gets so mad she quivers violently before she charges them.

Finally joined today after weeks reading a lot of posts about ducks.
We have two 5-week old ducklings (1 Jumbo Pekin and 1 Fawn and White Runner) and two 2-week old ducklings (1 Jumbo Pekin and 1 Black Swedish). We live in a small house (for now) with a small backyard of only 20' x 40' of...
