Guess the Duck!! (Indian Runner Ducks)

[teresa-78]

Your runner ducks are lovely

I have 6 runners and they are the best thing since sliced bread, not sure of the sex as of yet, 2 are quacking, but pleading with more to start lol. I have a varied range of colors, A grey, white, beige (thinking maybe a lavender?) grey trout, trout, and a black with white bib (turned out to be a crested runner) if I can work out how to upload a pic I will add one, as im all new to this. Any help in uploading pics would be much appreciated

They are very beautiful!! And what luck you have--I picked 3 ducklings out last year and all were males! I am convinced that the eggs I have in the bator will all be drakes too--lol.

Im not sure but think this is how you add a pic lol im probably completely wrong

I just had to post this great picture of my wonderful Chihuahua Pippin (and my sons rr tracks behind the duckling) w/ this almost 2 week old Runner of mine....

Henry'schickens-FYI- mounting behavior definitely does NOT guarantee the sex of a duck. My females routinely mount each other, it's a dominance thing. My runner female will mount my female pekin and then stand on her for two or more minutes. The pekin just sits there, it's pretty funny. The girls do not mount the drake though.

What a lovely little duckling revolutionmama , if I am not mistaken you have a white one there, I remember when mine were that little, dont take long to grow... mine are 5 weeks old now.

This pic was when mine were 1 day old,

and the group just above are them now

This was my little yellow fluffy one, as you see its turned into a lovely looking runner

Best of luck with you little one

Yes, I have several white ones, they turned out real nice and of course heart melting cute! They grow so fast - they are being moved out of the house and into the outside starter pen today for more leg room to run around.

Yours are super cute to!

Ahh how exciting, its lovely when they start to go outside

Just wondering if you would know what colour this runner is??

Im thinking maybe a Lavender as I have not heard about them being beige??

Oh and just had to show you my crested runner.... bit of a shock as only picked it due to its mohican lol, thought the fluff would
fall out lol

Could be a Lavender - the one in the far left of this picture is a Lavender hen is this helps

Oh and here is a great picture my Sister N Law took..Lavender feet 2nd one from the left

Love that crested runner, the body looks like it's nice too.
