To my surprise, my black and white Call hen has hatched out 7 babies. The only drake she has is a large Lavender Runner....I did NOT think that was possible. The Runner has his own Runner hens and they keep separate from the Call hens, at least I thought they did. I guess hormones know no boundaries.
 
The other day I saw 3 runner drakes all on top of one Embden goose and "mating". Everyone was very happy even the goose, now she is broody.
 
This is my Lavender drake, he's the second in line with the gray on his face. econd in line with the gray on his face.
 
Thank you! today I noticed that the babies stand up almost like little Runners when they're startled. I'm wondering if they'll be colored like a Swedish Blue when they feather out.
