Thanks!
I got the black drakes from a local BYCer and the chocolates were ordered from a hatchery by a feed store about an hour away from me. Sweet babies! The drakes names are Midnight and Samuel. The chocolate females names are Dove, Hershey,Palmer. After our favorite 3 chocolate makers!

I have chocolate and black Runners, and the chocolates lay tan or green eggs.

Vier's eggs are tan, Elfie's are green.

YAY I love my runners! Started out as my husbands thing, then I hatched Bug. Well he's MY duck, or at least he thinks he is, lol. He loves me, and I just love him too!

Hi, hope you don't mind me butting in. According to Metzer Farms' site, both black and blue Runners have a 70% chance of laying blueish eggs. Chocolate Runners have a 75%, and fawn and white Runners have a 35% chance. Mallards have a 70% chance. I'm guessing his numbers come from personal experience. (This information can be found on the Duck Breed Comparison chart, on the Duck Page.
