    White runner with grey beak- cross or purebred?

    Is it common for a white runner to have a grey beak? Or do you think shes crossed with another breed? All the online examples seem to show white runners with yellow beaks :hmm

    "Quiet" 2 month old indian runner

    Hey all! I'm new to raising ducks and we got our ducklings at 4 weeks old and they are now around 10 weeks old. 3 of them make a definite "quack" sound now, but the biggest one of the bunch (I'm suspecting it's a drake) is very very quiet. He still makes duckling chirping noises and doesn't have...

When i originally got them, a friend and i agreed that i would raise them until we figure out the males and females and we would split them from there. I know ducks get attached to each other, but i never realized how much until actually having...

    Mama duck advice?!

    Hi there, My cayuga has recently hatched her baby. She is typically quite calm about me invading her space, she sometimes welcomes it. I entered their brooding pen this morning to try to hold her baby, and she was OK with me approaching him. He then jumped in the water with her (it's shallow...

    ISO Indian Runner Hatching Eggs

    I just lost pretty much my entire flock of juvenile ducks (13 of 14). I went away for a weekend with my wife and had a friend watch the ducks for us. One thing led to another, and now we have one duck left... Anyway, I really want to get my flock back. I would like to buy 12-18 eggs to work on...

    Sick Indian Runner Duck?

    We have two ducks, a Black Cayuga and an Indiana Runner. They just turned 3 years old and today I noticed the Indian Runner, Maisy, acting stranger than usual. He started acting like he was chasing his tail, like a dog runs in circles chasing his.. They usually spin in circles while playing in...

    Non-flying ducks and their desire to fly

    Here's the thing, I have 3 Indian runner ducks which are not supposed to fly - at all. During their 7 months or so, they had shown extreme desire to fly and on several occasions, I have noticed they can lift off and fly 3 meters above ground, possibly higher. Longest distance so far was today...
