Holderreads waterfowl

Compare those runners to this runner...

Not sure exactly which hatchery she came from (maybe Privett?). She isn't upright at all but does lay eggs like a champ.

Oh good idea Wifezilla.

Here's a hatchery black.. the one one the left with blue in the wing.

Here are my runners from Holderreads. They came in a group of one day old 10 duclings.

I like to see some pics of their adult birds in Utility Breeder Quality, Show Breeder Quality and e.t.c. I don't know how their birds are looking in the different grades...

Here are my WH in the same group.

and bantam ducks:

This is a Black East Indie I purchased from Holderreads and a Black Silkie from there as well

Can't help but ask - Do the black runners usually turn green like that??? I have three and they have some green on the wing... but they are about 12 weeks old... will they get greener. Mine were hatched from eggs from Metzer

In my flock, only one female has an allover green sheen, but she's a show duck. The rest of the females are mostly just black with some blue in the wing. Both of my males have a beautiful green sheen. You can see the picture of my hatchery female a few posts up. I'm unsure about hatchery males.
