You know trying to stay ahead of All predators can really be a trying time but your getting some really good advise and watch your craigslist for free or cheap stuff that you can pick up to help with security. Sometimes even fencing just to haul it off.
What precious babies. Congrats! We all do what we can so if you feel good about the set up you have for them then who am I to but in. Your Runners are beautiful. What hatchery again?
Do they have a secure house? And no secure top on their pen? It’s just a matter of time before the predators show up an take advantage of your set up. Those precious ducklings need security.
They are so precious. I love Runners! They all look very healthy including the little chocolate. I’d like to rec you make them a waterer similar to this so they can wash their faces they need to keep their eyes an nares clean always. Congrats on the new chicks too.
They are adorable love Runners! Okay I would make sure she has plenty of time to recover and I'd get them all on the B complex just very important for their legs while they are doing the most growing they have this added nutrients. You could try some nice warm Epsom salt wraps for the ankle...
