Nice, congratulations!

Thank you!

Do you show your Runners? Any Ribbons?

And I was blessed to get a nice runner out of egg laying stock! The judge told me to use him as a breeder and recommend that I breed blacks but unfortunately I lost one of my black hens about a year ago and my other has a leg injury plus was bitten by a brown recluse spider!

Can I ask for some help? while I'm on here lol. I wanting to buy the healthiest food I can for my ducks besides my lovely Iris I also have Mr. Rowen a mallard. What kind of food do you feed your ducks? Iris is 5 mth. Old and Rowen is 7 mth. I currently feed them purina duck food an all life stages variety. I had fed them duckling food (which was hard to find) up until Sept./Oct. I'm thinking about trying Mazuri food for them. I'd also be interested in learning about safe treats they can have. I've read a ton online but I don't always trust everything I read some people say one thing is fine and someone else will say no. Also they currently live inside, this spring well be building their coop/enclosure, so any recommendations that will help keep them getting all the nutrients they need would be great!

What speckled ones?

Mostly white looking with the black beek and speckles down the lower body. Kinda center of the second picture.
Sorry for the vagueness, I had the picture blown up so large that it was the only duck I could see when I hit the reply button.

I feed my ducklings the Purina all life stages also. It’s what I could find that I was sure would meet the niacin requirements. I read the Mazuri package and it says it’s for ducks over 6 months and the food floats. At least the one for geese and ducks. I plan to add it at six months as an option for tossing in their pool to feed them when pigeons are a potential issue. My son feeds his pigs Mazuri brand feed and they’ve been really happy with it. It’s not cheap though.
From what I’ve read, ducks can eat all the greens and fruit chickens can but don’t feed them bread. They also like bugs and what have you. Just limit treats.
