Crazy Baby Runner

[SkyeT]

So.... the 6 week old runner baby has some gumption. She has actually chased our adult Rouen for a few seconds, snapped at the lesser scovy female and almost stole tomato from the scovy male...


Should we be worried?

Hahaha that baby runner sounds awesome

Keep an eye on things because eventually one of the larger ducks will put him/her in their place - hopefully not too brutally.

Brownie is very female. She doesn't show any real fear, and Salt, the lesser female Scovy, has given the newbies a nip or two. We are amazed at her...audacity.

I took a close up of Brownie's back. In the sun, her feathers almost look lavender.

@Runner duck mom has a young boy who looks a lot like that. He's so beautiful! Came from a chocolate dad and fawn/white mom!

Our youngsters have always been a bit fearless around the adults as well. We just keep a close eye on everyone when they are all together to make sure everyone is playing nice.
Brownie sure does look a bit like Hopper
