Congrats on the runner babies, they are sooo cute. I have 2 males so hopefully next year I can get some females.

Here's what the darker ducklings grow up to look like (this is a drake in juvenile plumage):

And the lighter one that I kept is just starting to get in the prettiest pale, Champagne-colored feathers (reminds me of a Champagne Tennessee Walking Horse, just like this one: http://www.bansidhesenterprises.com/images/ChampagneShadowfax7.gif). She's just getting the feathers in though, she's only 3 weeks old - I'll take some pictures when you can see them better.

By the way - here are 4 more I hatched last week - I have 14 more eggs in the 'bator yet, and then I'm DONE hatching for the year:

You never know - Wifezilla's crazy Runner went broody this spring!

LOL...yeah Chrissy sure surprised me. I think the lady I sold her to wanted to use her as a broody. Since Chrissy kept trying to take over Lexi's nest after hers hatched, I think she will do a good job. That goofy duck was never right in the head

They're gorgeous! What sweet little babies! I'm trying to convince my husband that we just need 2 Runner ducks to add to our 2 mutts.

Thanks for sharing, beautiful!

Here's my runners just the other day.

The fawn & white is a year old. Got her from TSC, and the other 2 are 11 weeks old. Goofy as heck the lot of them!

Very cute babies. I bet the people that ordered them will be super excited.

They were great on the ride home. I let them stretch out and run around in the side yard and had to grab a couple photos. Thanks again Heather!
