    How to tell the difference between Runner and Pekin eggs?

    I'm probably not a fabulous duck keeper since I have my ducks for herding training with my border collie. But I do try. I'll check out the ultimate list of treats. With my flock I've just given them leftover fruit/veggies and they seem to be quite happy. They loved it when I processed...

    How to tell the difference between Runner and Pekin eggs?

    I've never heard of sprouting wheat seeds. I'll have to look up how to do it. This morning they gave me 1 egg again and got pineapple that was getting too soft in the fridge for my tastes. We'll see if they like pineapple.

    Thanks Amiga! No eggs today, I think I am a duck abuser. I couldn't figure out why the ducks didn't leave their pen as they usually do this morning so I shooed them out. They left the pen and laid back down. Turns out it's 5 F out. . . I let the ducks back into their pen. They are annoyed...

    How to tell the difference between Runner and Pekin eggs?

    I have seven 7 mo. old runner hens and one 3 yr (?) old Pekin. One duck is definitely laying eggs. How do I tell which breed of duck it's from? The eggs are about the size of large chicken eggs and are grey/white. Is there a big size difference between breeds? I know both runners and Pekins...
