runner duck

I have two ducks the khaki Campbell (Pepsi) and a runner (Rue) if both are hens when will I be expecting eggs from them and do they need somewhere perticular to lay them or will they just lay them where they want? They stay outside all day and come in on a night due to the amount of foxes that...

Hi everyone, I have got two ducks I've had them since they hatched and they are just over 12 weeks now, I bloody love them so much the problem is I don't know if they are drakes or hens (this is the first time I've had ducks) I've looked online at lots of websites and still can't tell. I have a...

We've got runner ducks. Raised from eggs. They're now about 3 months old. 5 ducks, 4 drakes (drakes are going soon, but my partner can't bear to part with them yet.) They are still in a temporary enclosure on porch while we finish off their proper coop and run. It's about 8'x3'. It's definitely...

Hi friends! One of my adult fawn & white runners is open-mouth breathing, almost as if she’s panting. It’s warm today but the ducks have 24 hour access to the pond in their enclosure. Any thoughts?

Hi! We noticed our year old runner made a strange noise yesterday when she quacked- we kept a close eye on her yesterday and noticed she was resting a great deal and every now and again began panting. This behaviour seemed to stop after a long drink and she seemed ‘normal’ again although no...

I have a lone Runner drake that recently lost his mate, and would love to find a companion or two to bring home for him. Do not want less than a year old, since it's springtime (mating season). Would prefer to have a Runner of some sort, but open to other smaller breeds. Live in central Indiana...

New street dog adopted for the protection of my runner babies and house. Any duck-dog herding advice? His name is Denver, 2 yo male that is very obedient. I think he is a wolf.

Hey everyone! Good morning! I have 2 black runner ducklings just about 4 weeks old now. I haven’t the slightest idea if they are hens or drakes! I’m not even sure if they are old enough to have tell yet by their little quacks but here are videos to see if anyone else can tell! I’m new to ducks...

I'm planning on getting my older brother a Runner duckling or two when our local feed store gets them and I'm going to be building a yard/run for them. I need ideas for what I could put together. Also what would be a great color to get? The feed store is getting assorted color ducklings. And...

A month ago I had a flock of 10 including: 3 runners(1m 2f), 4 Campbell’s (3m 1f), 2 Anconas(2m), and 1 m Rouen. We suddenly had a horrible blizzard out of nowhere one night so when one f runner disappeared (we still haven’t found her) we didn’t think much of it, we kinda just assumed she blew...

I've been doing a lot of research about raising ducks for a couple months now and I plan on buying 2 Runner ducklings from our local feed store for my older brother as early birthday gifts. He's been always talking about wanting to get ducks. I plan on building an area for them to live. I...

Hi all! I am new to raising ducks, and have 4 female runners, they are about 15 weeks old. We have a large pond in our backyard where we let them free range. We have about 7-12 wild mallards that also enjoy our pond. They get along just fine. My runners like to follow the mallards everywhere...

I’ve just noticed my female Indian runner duck has a vent prolapse, it’s not all hanging out there’s just a small amount of pink flesh poking out. What should I do for her? I’ve heard so many horror stories about this I just want her to be ok!

We have four runner ducks (2 fawn white males, 1 chocolate male,and 1 black runner female) where three turned out to be male! The poor girl has no peace @.@ hoping to find someone who has females to trade :)

Hi guys, please please let me know if my Indian runner duck eggs are developing properly in the egg!!! I candled them just now and it’s day 24. I have had the temperature at 99.5F and humidity between 40-45% throughout their incubation period. I’m in Canada so it’s a lot chilly here. I will...

Our baby Pansy is nine days old today the past few days when I clean the cage I have allowed the mommy Dandi-Lion out to run eat bugs in the yard and be with her sisters and our male. My question is how long should I allow her to be away from the duckling whom I have in a basket with a kitchen...
