Hi everyone!
I have a duckling whose tail is crooked. I didn't notice any of this til his feathers started coming in, but his rear end is growing to one side! It seems to be his whole tail end, not just the feathers.
Does anyone know what could be causing this? And is there anything I can do to...
A week ago my fawn and white runners hatched out a duckling that I lovingly called Annabelle.
We vent sexed the babies today and learned that she was a 'he'. He's from Holderread lines and is absolutely beautiful and sweet. Any name ideas?
My Indian Runner just hatched out 8 ducklings and her 7th turned out much smaller than the others and very weak. He is unable to walk and his right wing points down instead of back. He is sort of scooting short distances but other than that he can barely keep himself upright. He spends most of...
My indian runner had been sitting on a clutch of 13 eggs for a few weeks, when I came out to check on her this afternoon there was a broken egg and a dea duckling lyying on the opposite side of the pen. Did she do this?
About 2 months ago Animal Control came to our door to ask us about "3 white ducks" in the local canal. It's fairly well known that we have pet ducks and it was assumed that we had released them.
(I was pretty offended that anyone would expect us to abandon our birds.Were pretty well known by the...
I would like to preface this by saying I have 5 ducks. 4 hens to 1 one drake. I'm pulling my hair out trying to come up with a way to keep my drake.
Stanley is my Indian Runner drake, he has become obsessed with Frances, my imprint runner hen.
He has 3 females who are tripping all over...

Thanks

I am doing a reaserch project on easter ducklings, chicks, and rabbits. Does any one have any helpful information? Statistics would be much help, but anything will do!
Thanks!

I'm out of my head excited, after months of searching I came in contact with a woman who ordered runners from Holderreads and is willing to give some away. I have been looking to get 2 more Runner ducklings. (preferably from Holderreads. But their minimum order is 10... gah! )
So tonight...
I came home from a school trip and found that my parents had one of my runners in the bathtub on a plie of towles and straw. Apparently the gate that keeps the girls in their pen had not been secured properly. It had fallen on her and she had been pinned under it for over an hour. There doesnt...
My female runner, Pickle thinks she's broody. I say she thinks she's broody because she often forgets about her eggs.
I come out everyday and she is sitting in her cardboard box of eggs acting all motherly but as soon as she sees us she comes running for snuggles. She leaves her eggs for hours...
Were looking into adding a silkie duck to our flock. Our ducks are companions and i'm looking into using them for Pet Assisted Therapy.
I need to know how social they are with other birds. Are they nervous? We have runners. theyre supposed to be a nervous breed but mine are social butterflies...
Anyone want to co-order some ducklings with us?
We only want 2 holderads runners. Problem. Min-order is 10.
Does anyone (or anyones) want to split an order with us? We would just order as many ducklings of whatever breed as you wanted plus two runners.
Were in Rochester NY. Willing to travel a...

Hey there everyone,
We have decided to expand our little backyard flock of 2. I've decided that I will not be hatching them (far to stressful! ) not to mention we have decided exactly what we want:
One black runner boy
and one runner feamale (ok. so maybe not EXACTLY what we want. but hey, there...
