Hey all! Hope you don't mind me jumping in your thread! Runners have been a dream of mine now for some time and I finally have 5 ducklings all my own.

Congrats on the Runner babies!
They sure are cute!

@Pyxis Did you bring home some Runners?

X-post from intro thread, but seemed useful here, too!

I've been keeping growth logs of my runner ducklings. Data includes picture, weight (grams), bill-to-tail length (mm) and foot-to-haunch length (mm). It's not 100% filled in, but there's solid data for days 1-40 or so for all the ducklings that made it that far; about 230 individual measurements. Be interested what use people can make of this.

Also, in case anyone was wondering: Luey, Della, and Webby II are doing well. In fact, Luey and Della were.. *ahem* _dancing_ today. Should have eggs (maybe fertilized!) very soon!

If you want to show us pictures we’d love to see them.

@Pyxis Did you bring home some Runners?

Might've! I'm still not 100% , but they seem like they might be runners to me. They have a fairly upright stance.

Hope you share pics when you get time!

I have wanted ducks for fooorever and finally fulfilled my wish and purchased 5 indian runner ducklings. The person who hatched themm said they came from a flock of mixed colours his friends own, honestly i wouldn't care if they all end up white but im loving how one has a dark bill and legs

Congrats on the babies!

I'm sure you'll soon see why we all love our Runners so much.
