[Duck Hill]

Ducks mate in the presence of water. A small kiddie pool will do the trick, and the water can be shallow (depending on the breed).

Instant duckling... just add water

sooooo true!

Edit: of course mine don't even wait for the water...

Hey is there anybody here who's in Northern California or willing to ship here? I've got a friend looking for a pair of Black Runners.

That is actually Noir our mostly white Black Runner (it is hard to tell on photos sometimes).
Here is Dove our "beautiful chocolate runner"

(She doesn't have quite as much white on her even though she is actually a little older.)

OK, I admit it... this was just an excuse to post another pic while I am pining for my new babies (who should be in a box and on the way by now

.)

So lovely!

My runners are trying to hatch right now. . lots of hatching drama.

Hopefully all turns out well and I'll have new runner picts to post in a day or so. .

You are much braver than I am! I couldn't handle hatching. They are even smaller and more precious than when they arrive in a box a couple days old and you have a base mortality rate plus you have to get the temperature and the humidity just right and they need to be rotated, but not disturbed too much and

then you have to deal with whatever sex you get. I would be in a padded room for sure! But after YOU deal with all that... I would LOVE to see all the pictures

Batch 2 of my trout runners are out
I think I have one that I might keep

See the one on the far right?

 

[blueducklings]

What color do you think it will grow up to be??
Any guesses?
I am hoping harlequins

 

[Senna95]

They sure look like they could be, but there is no way to get harlequins out of trouts.... Unless you got ducks from someone that was breeding for harlequin runners in a previous generation. Do you have photos of you adult ducks?
