What exactly does penciled refer to? I have seen pictures of penciled runners that look like fawn and white runners, so I am a little confused on the terminology. Thanks for the help!
What color is this little duckling? She is currently 2 weeks old and I don't know what she will look like when she is grown up- maybe blue and white? She is too dark for the typical fawn and white (I think). What do you think? She has a big personality!
Have you ever had one turn really gray? Here is a picture of another egg that has all of one side discolored. Is this also a dark duckling or a bad egg? Thanks
I just put my duck eggs in lockdown 2 days ago. One egg has developed a blue/gray coloration on the shell where the air sac is. Have any of you experienced that before? Is the duckling dead? One other egg has a small blue dot on the side. They were completely white at lockdown day 1. The temp...

I have looked all over the area and in the neighbors yards. No signs. Hopefully she returns. If not, hopefully one of her eggs hatch to continue her legacy!
Well hopefully I get at least a few ducklings hatched from my first incubation. The mom in the picture, Tikki, disappeared last night . I can't find any clues as to where she went. It doesn't look like there was a fight or anything, so I think she managed to clear the fence and couldn't...
So exciting!! Do they stay the same color as they are at hatch? I only ask because I had a muscovy duckling that changed colors a few times before she was an adult. I never have had experience with runners though. It would be nice to know what color they are right at hatch .
I just set my first ever batch of eggs in my first ever incubator (gatorbator). It is quite an exciting time. Now to wait...
