Oh, those ducklings are too cute! 😍

Your flocks are beautiful too. Those runners with the black and white, and brown and white, are they multi colored like that, or is that older runners growing in white feathers?
Thanks! Those are my 4th generation runners raised here. The original stock I bought from Metzer back in 2017. The birds I first bought were solid blues, chocolates and some fawn/whites. Ive just let them do their own breeding vs selected breeding, so that is where all the coloration comes from. Yeah, the black and white one is a male and he really resembles an Ancona in pattern and color. And the brown and white has really good markings on him, I might show him at my local fair next year.

I have a sin to confess...I don't *normally* like runners. They usually look too scrawny and usually resemble a drinking straw in posture.

I LOVE yours, they look really pretty.
Thanks! That’s probably because I give them 2 scoops of corn chops, 1 scoop of 20% crumble and like three full watermelons a day. :lau I don’t think any of mine would show very well though, cause I think good show quality runners have to be completely erect and they don’t weigh vary much like this. image.jpg

(I won't be offended if you don't like them! 😂)
Yeah, they look like ducks, not, twigs. Most of them just have WAY too much definition in some of their features, like their legs, their legs seem to stick out because they're so erect.
