My new ducklings are half runner. I just hatched them.Too bad I’m nowhere near you, I would share! I’m getting them locally so hopefully will get a better hatch rate than shipped eggs... The only hatchery even remotely near me that has runners has mixed, predominantly white, birds, but the shipping was almost 3 times as much as the cost of the eggs... and our postal service is atrocious for tossing fragile packages around.
I set 8 barnyard mix on 3/10. Quickie candled one on D3 and saw development! ❤ I'm planning on candling them all on D7. I won't candle my duck eggs until D10.
I wanted silver so bad so I'm glad I got silver ones.oh right!!! They’re so cute! And I love the colouring you’ve got out of the bunch.
I have one blue duck and now I want more
I am excited for my all black ducklings coming up, though. Lil emo ducks 
I want to try again with BBS Ameraucanas so badly, I only got one out of five on my first hatch.
It hatched out blue! Which I am pleased with. I picked the eggs up myself (about 3 hrs round trip); I'm not sure what went wrong. One was not fertilized, and three made it to about D16 before they quit
. Hopefully I'll be able to try again in May. I think my incubators are all spoken for in April, but if I get a window of opportunity I'll definitely be trying to get more eggs.

There is another breeder kind of close by (for midwest standards anyway), but they wont do pick up for me. But she has lavender and isabel Ameraucanas so I might want to order some anyway.
