I have Pekin x KCs. Nice ducks.

Those will grow up into some very beautiful ducks! Do I see one dark duckling and 2 fawn and whites?

She might have the other 10 eggs buried deeply where you can't see them.

@YoungsDucks I would just keep an eye on her weight. Do you have a scale that would work for her? @FowlPrincess Food Coloring! You add 1-2 drops to the vent(s), diff colors for each girl. The eggs will match the food coloring the next day.

My feeling is that we need to be really careful with water and ducklings-- I mean, even adults can drown. (Had it happen). I like to use little Rubbermaid dishpans for ducklings, kiddie pools for adults only.

Drake feathers might take a bit longer; more like 16 wks.

Great point. I never thought of that.

If you are doing mail order, which I have never done myself, I would just pick the one closest to you geographically (shortest transport time), pay attention to your weather forecast (avoid temperature extremes and fluctuations), and def speak to your chosen hatchery about what they do to insure...

My one Runner Girl is just one year old, and before her I had one that was 5. The older one was a great layer and I suspect that she would have been just fine here; the young girl is a great layer of beautiful blue eggs. I have read life expectancies up yo 20 yrs. hopefully som folks who've...

I go between crumbles, pellets, and whole corn. Truthfully I believe the ducks prefer corn & pellets.

That book is on my list!

I don't do anything when mine start that nonsense.

Awww, so sweet. Congrats Buckas

Thanks Amiga! That link is great. The bowling pin setup! LOL

All your Runners are stunning! Beautiful! Congrats on Best of Show! Going back to my gal's bill. I can't get a much closer pic unless I go grab her for a close up, which I'm sure will be traumatic for all of us... So, here she is with her algae-covered-bill, and her hatchmate in the back for...

Cute. I have a question. My F&W Runner Girl has the pale beak. I'm noticing that it looks like algae is growing on it? Have y'all seen this and how should I clean it?

Ok, Everybody, the drakelet on the far left will be at MI ChickenStock looking for a home.

Thank you, Stony, that darker masked guy is the one I liked too :) It is hard to choose when they both seem nice.

Ok I'm trying (first time) to post a pic with a new to me device. Hope it works! So you'll see a big Pekin on the far right, to her left is my dark drake and on the far left is the light drake. Behind them is the duck and my special Khaki Campbell Mom. (The runners adopted her and her babies)...
