Could they be missing my husband, who is away on business? Could they be sensing the fact that I'm newly pregnant? I'm really just trying to figure this out. It's heartbreaking to think they aren't a good fit for our home anymore ... :(

Can anyone PLEASE tell me why my two Indian Runner boys - a year old at the end of March - have suddenly become mean?? In the past week and a half, they suddenly have started attacking me or anyone else who enters their pond area. My one guy who used to be such a momma's boy is the biggest...

Hi Miss Lydia - Sorry it took so long to get back to you! It's been a busy week. I got Cheese to the vet on Monday (where he got to spend 2 hours cuddling in my lap, not fighting for space with Quackers :)) and it was an infection. We caught it really early, thankfully. He's on antibiotics and...

At this point I'm wondering if this is the beginning of bumble foot. Argh! What should I do?

Okay, Miss Lydia - I'm back with another Cheese question. At 7.5 weeks, he and Quackers are now outside ducks (broken hearted momma lol). Just yesterday, he started limping and laying down a lot again. I'm thinking this is another growth-spurt type situation we had going on with the shaky legs...

Well, Cheese and Quackers are finally old enough - and by far big enough! - to move outside. Mommy is feeling quite a lot of Empty Nest sadness, but I know they're going to be so happy out there :) New question: Do they need food and water at night? Or can we prolong the cleanliness of their...

Not sure if the video will work ... Try again :)

Hi Miss Lydia! I have tonight's video - I wonder if Cheese is getting his quack now!! What do you think? He's so cute in this video :) :)

Walt - beautiful Runners!! Such lovely shape!

Hi Nancy! I'm very new to the duck game and the wonderful world of BYC too :) My two Indian Runners are now 5weeks old. They're both boys - I didn't want to deal with breeding or with eggs. I strictly wanted pets. And yes, the girls are loud! I received them at a few hours old and they bonded...

I totally agree with Shicks! Some days, it even seems like they may be having a bad day like humans do! :) My boys nibble (as I call it) on absolutely everything, even when they're cuddling with me but then they'll quiet down, relax and sleep. I don't think it was the yummy treat you're giving...

Oh my! My boys are very much still baby boys! I just celebrate and awe over ever little change :) I had no idea that's how loud the girls are! Hubby will be glad they're both boys when I show him that lol Thank you, friends!!! :)

Hello all! My two Runner boys (as sexed by the breeder before I got them) are a month old now. At about one week, Quackers started quacking a little bit! He hasn't changed much or quacked more than at the start - everything is still little chirps like Cheese. Here's a video from the first day I...

Hi Miss Lydia! I just wanted to give you another update! Cheese is doing wonderfully! I haven't seen his legs shake in two days! Although he is still laying down more than before the scare, he really seems to be fine! They are growing like weeds and I'm going to need to figure out how to get...

So cute! And Miss Lydia, I'm glad to see you here, too! I have a question about peas for you ladies! My boys don't seem to care for them! Barred Rock Girls, I see that you mentioned rolled oats for your babies ... What other treats can I try?

Pictures I can definitely do! :) Will you send some pictures of your duckies? :) One day old, Quackers closest to the camera and Cheese behind him Itty bitty babies! One day old, Quackers closest to me and Cheese closest to the camera Crazy to look at them now and think they used to fit in...

It's hard not to love them! I knew I would, but didn't realize they would love me back like they do ... It's the coolest thing ever! :) Thank you so much for checking in with me through all of this!!!

I'm going to put them in the tub here in a little bit, but not make it very deep so that they can play and clean until their oils are out!

Hi Miss Lydia! Although wobbly, Cheese seems to be doing much better today! I've been at work all day and was worried about what I'd come home to, but he's standing much better! I actually called the Holderread Farm because their book has been my duckling bible and they said that there's plenty...

Hi Miss Lydia! I seriously can't tell you how much I appreciate your help! He's still wobbly this morning, and it will be the first complete day of his meds. I still really think he needs Niacin. The stuff I was giving him was in combo with other electrolytes. I'm wondering where I can just get...
