Please help. What kind of duck is this?

[JE1279]

I think she is a runner but at that age it's possible she could be Cayuga...they are very similar at that age...only very slight difference in Cayuga and black runner at that age. The Cayuga tend to have a bit lighter on chest and mine had very slight dots of yellow in corners of their mouth next to bill at that age. The Cayuga do not stand upright like runners do.

We bought her from the feed store so I would doubt she's a Cayuga. Definitely disappointed as we did not want a runner.

Runners are very cool ducks I have 4 of them.

I got my Cayuga at Rural King. So just cuz they came from feed store doesn't mean they aren't.

We wanted an outgoing duck. We have a Welsh Harlequin currently and have had a Rouen in the past. Runners seem shy.

I'm sorry you were expecting something else, but that lil one may surprise you. My black runners are beautiful.

Mine eat right out of our hands and chat with us Everytime we come to the run. I've heard that too but has not been my experience with them. My mallard and khakis are the shy ones in the bunch.

How old is the duckling now? If it's a bit older may be able to tell ya for sure.

Good to know. Thank you. I think I just want a replacement for my Rouen and it probably won't happen. She was such a doll. We love our Harlequin but she gets a little mouthy. We will love this one regardless and she will have a good home.
