I wish I could but I live on a farm and they have a large field and stream to go in, I would have to keep him somewhere else as all the other huts don’t have runs and the little one I have would be an easy target for the Fox’s that are hanging around I have a friend that can take the female as they have some runner ducks, do you think that would be a better option?

Yes...Definitely I would get rid of him though..

I’m not sure which ones are laying but I have at least 6 eggs every morning

If you have 6 Hens all are laying. Birds lay once a day or every second day

Did they all come to you together?

All came together except the drake, I have had them for about 6 months and he hasn’t done it before but if he is trying to mate her and I let him do it I’m worried she will go missing again and I won’t be able to find her

Welcome!

Can you post some pictures of them?

This was a few months ago, the drake isn’t in these pictures but he’s much bigger

If you have that option that would be best for your female. Just make sure they introduce her slowly to their resident flock or she may get picked on there. If he has just singled out this one female and is fine with the rest I wouldn’t get rid of him my Runners love their drake and he is very good at watching out for them.

I will, thank you so much! It makes me feel better to know that she can have a fresh start with other females. My drake seems fine with the others so fingers crossed
