Thanks. I love the runners. I have 7 runners, 3 Swedish, 1 KC, 2 WH, 3 Rouens, 2 Golden Cascades, 2 Silver appleyards, 1 Saxony, 2 Harlebells, 1 Golden Hybrid, 2 Buff, 2 Pekins, 1 Cayuga, and 1 baby that is either a pure rouen or a rouen mix.

Ooh harlebells care to share any pics .

 

[DUCKOBSESSED]

Sure! They are both males. Came as extras from Holderreads (sp?)
This is a day old
A few weeks old.

6 weeks old. I will try to get some new pics tomorrow. They are fully feathered but are molting into their male colors.

Beautiful and very cute .

Do the runners have trouble swimming .

 

[DUCKOBSESSED]

Not at all. My ducks like to play how many "ducks can we fit in one pool" after i clean them. Usually all seven runners a pekin and a goose win. lol They are just tiny kid sandboxes!

 

[buff goose guy]

Ohh I was told that they can sink and drown easier than other ducks .

 

[DUCKOBSESSED]

All i have is a 4 kid sandboxes, but they can swim fine.

Don't mallard ducklings have spots on their backs?

It all depends on the color of mallard , wild coloration and the wild pattern is brown and yellow , but mallards can be any color and any pattern . Any coloration of **** breed a mallard can be that color. ( except for a Muscovy since it's a diffrent species but I'm not getting into the speech of how every other domesticated duck is derived from Mallards except the Muscovy ) so yeah they can be pretty much any color and any pattern . I have a black mallard and 2 mallards with wild coloration .
