Hi Addeline,

yes, definitely a fawn and white runner duck. - I have five of them, they're really curious and funny, a little nervous. From the pictures i estimate an age of ~3 months. Mine looked like this, growing the brown bib at that age. I first though the had soiled themselves...

How are your other ducks reacting to the newbie?

This is how my duckies looked at an age of ~3 months

Also the ducklings development depends on how much food and what kind of food they get. Your duckling could be older, but behind due to a lack of food and care. Just give her/him a hug from me.

Fawn and white runner....maybe 3 or months. Would fit in your flock perfect!

Aww how precious and how awful someone would dump that precious one on the side of the road.
