Hi BYC(& ducks)
My 5 ducks will be 6 weeks old tomorrow (3 runners, 1 khaki, 1 cayuga). We are planning to transition them outside sometime next week, BUT I have a question about temps.
I am in Northern Arizona, where right now, the daytime temperatures are around 75-85 F, and the evening...
Hi, I have three sweet 5 week old babies I chose from a mixed straight run at a feed store when they were a few days old. I thought I was getting a Pekin, a Crested Buff and a Magpie. Now I'm thinking I have a Pekin, a Crested Indian Runner and maybe a Magpie? I'm curious about her/his feet...

Hello. I'm quite excited as I've finally convinced my parents to let me increase my flock. After a lot of research, I'd like to add some black Runner ducks to my flock of three ducks. (it was a larger flock, but we've had a few tragedies) I’d really like to hatch...
Looks like my Runners have started laying again:woot, so am hoping another BYCer's have, too. Please let me know if you have Runner hatching eggs (BBS or just black) or if you expect to have some in spring that can be shipped. TIA!
Hello! I reenact colonial America (1775). I’d like to get some Runners so I can bring one with me when I go all dressed up.
I can't find any mention of them before 1830, which was when they were imported to the UK, or so I’ve heard. I’ve also heard that they’re actually native to Asia, and...
It is with chagrin that I am posting my feathery friends for adoption due to preparations for a major life changing event.

Having trouble deciding which breeds to add to my flock. I’m raising mostly for eggs and possibly to hatch more off and sell some eventually. Just wanting to get some opinions. This is my options I believe, 12 Indian Runner ducklings, 12 khaki Campbells ducklings, or 4 khaki Campbell females and...

Hello all!
Looking for some advice/suggestions on my Indian Runner drake that recently lost his mate. He's always been super friendly and playful with me, but I fear her being gone will hit him hard soon, and I'm not sure what to do. With mating season right around the corner, I'm hesitant to...
I have a male and a female pekin, and a male and a female indian runner (4 total)
The little guy(indian runner) is just so pesky to my female pekin and has been pecking at her everytime she tries to eat or drink. He tries to mate with her but he’s so much smaller than her so he never achieves...
Went to TSC just to "see" what they had - and they had a trough full of ducklings on clearance! Who can pass on this??
The employee offered to sell me all of them for $.50 each! I gave it some serious thought, but sadly, I could only take home 6 since I got 10 two weeks ago (and they're huge...
The excitement is building!:ya I ordered 5 black Indian Runner girls from Ideal Poultry and they'll ship March 20.
Can anyone give me an idea of how much fermented food per day a runner duckling eats per day? Do you let ducklings freely feed or do actual meals? How many weeks do you feed them...
Hello everyone! I’m planning on getting 3 female runner ducklings in the next month or so after I build their coop/run. I’d like to hear from Runner owners and other duck owners suggestions and advice. I live in a small town and I have a small yard (I’m on a main road with decent traffic so I...
I've got an almost 2-year-old Indian runner named Eva. The past few days she seems fine in the morning but around mid-morning she can hardly walk. He tail drags and her abdomen is close to dragging on the ground too. She flops around and then just lays down.
I gave her a warm bath yesterday...
