@YoungsDucks I would just keep an eye on her weight. Do you have a scale that would work for her?

Thanks HollyDuckFarmer. I will get a scale and watch her weight. She's always been more petite than the other girls and less aggressive about treats.

One of my runners has been sitting on a nest outside. I saw her yesterday. Today all I found was an empty nest with 2 broken, empty shells about 5 ft from the nest. She did not come for breakfast this morning ......thoughts? Please tell me her eggs may have hatched and she's hiding in a new spot with her babies.....or.... . No feathers laying on the ground. Her nest was all fluffed up and filled with down. Now its just empty. There were 12 eggs in it. Only found 2 empty shells.

She might have the other 10 eggs buried deeply where you can't see them.

I just set 2 dozen more duck eggs (20 runner and 4 call) on top of the dozen from my runner hen that are due in 10 days.

Anyone else have a flamingo runner? Suzie frequently sleeps like this. No foot or leg issues, but it looks very odd.

Ordered 6 black and 6 fawn runners from Metzers; they arrived in good shape on 7/3. Lost one by the next morning, but the remaining 11 seem to be thriving!
