Sassy looks so precious. How can one not love these little personalities. I could kill a whole day watching my girls. They remind me of children's books from years gone by. Just so busy doing their thing.

These are my five girls. They have the sweetest personalities and are the best bug catchers. There is a long story about Chloe passing. One of the fawn/whites was the alpha but when Chloe got older (blues are 6mos younger) she showed signs of being alpha. They all seemed to sense that she...

I have 5 runner ducks who will be 3 yrs old in aug. I am told they do not need swim water very much. Do not tell my ladies that. They have kiddie pools (down to one now). We are building them a nice pond. For both humans and ducks. They have a small ditch out back and they know it is there...

It is with sad heart I tell you that Chloe did not make it. Even if I would have had a vet and money it would not have saved her. She had to many other structure issues. I knew early on she would not have a long life. She gave me a lot of love and happiness in her 2+ years.i was always afraid...

Chloe is the runner that had leg and foot issues when she was little. She fell the other day going downhill trying to keep up with the others. She has not been doing to good. Today when she came out of pool I noticed her belly between legs and up from her but hole was swollen. I picked her up...

I have had mine for two years and never had to clip wings. Once or twice my fawn and whites got over the fence but that was because they were on the down hill run and we're spooked. Caught enough altitude to verily make it over. Normally they can't get very high.

I have been remodeling/upgrading my runner duck hut. With work and weather it has taken me forever. My 6 runners have been checking it out all along the way. They would keep coming in and looking around and look at me like are you not done yet. Well, they are getting to sleep in it now. 2...

Thanks so much. Chloe is on soft bedding. I am enlarging their yard which will be just grass. When Chloe is out she mostly stays on mulch or grass.

@Amiga Or, if you are like me, panic early, get it over with, then settle down and don't worry - just manage it one bit at a time. Would both legs be warm even if one foot has bumble? i thought last night that Chloe had warm legs (but she was sitting on the bowl of warm water). I am a bit...

@Amiga I am confused a bit. Is bandages required? After the apsome salts soak I have been soaking with verericyn then I put on animal antibiotic ointment. Then wrap. Chloe looks a bit better, at least there is no infection. Nice and pink and just a bit softer. I can get nothing out of it...

Thanks for quieting my nerves. Will get back with you later as I am wore out tonight. Have to run yarnshoppe by myself tomorrow. I have been into over kill on refurbish my du c know hut, trying to make it easier old folks to clean and collect eggs. I will be Abe to hose down undo summer and it...

I mentioned to say preparation H. Spell checker got involved?

My blue runner that got hurt at 4 days old And got well now has a big bumble on her foot. I have been soaking twice a day in Epsom salts then clean again with vetrasin. Then I put heroic meds and a foam ring then bandage good. Evening same thing but triple antibiotic ointment. This evening I...

Mine like me to whisper to them. They just twist and turn their heads and chatter back. So sweet andsilly.

My son put up sheet insulation on the insidw this afternoon. Wed I am going to get the 4 inch thick insulation to install under the hut.i will close off from under neath the water hole spot. We just put pine chips over it for winter. I kick myself that I didn't have better prep for my duckies...

My hut is off ground so they have a hiding place under it and a place to keep cool in the summer. Ducks get plenty of food and heated water. Treats galore. Pine chips and straw about 4" thick. It is just that if the egg freezes me thinks it is to cold. We have snow and ice everywhere and I don't...

How cold is to cold for my runner ducks. They are one yr and 7 mos. I brought my 6 "babies" in to the garage last week as I had some frozen eggs. Oh my word, they are rank now. The tell me when and where they want treats. But I checked the duck hut this morning and it said 22 degrees. That is...

Welcome and you are going to have a great time with your runners. I just love mine.

I just read that runners are prone to parasites. What and how do you give them. How long to not use eggs.

I just went to place where I purchased them and this year they call them Blue Indian Runner or Blue Cumberland. Thant is probably where blue mountain came from. But they are in the Indian Runner group.
