Runner ducks not....runnery?

[Texag87]

Bandit lost his drake feather a while back. Limpy is cute drake too. I want to get three runner hens and a Cayuga once we get into the new place . We will have to go with Ideal because we can pick them up. In fact, once we move we will be 9 miles closer. 8 hens will keep Bandit busy.

He's beautiful. I don't know what it is about fawn and white runners, but I just had to have one!

We were lucky to get him playing TSC duckling roulette last fall. Even with our lack of knowledge at the time, we knew from about day three that he was special.

I wouldn't buy there again! - At least if you want to make sure that your Runner ducks don't waddle! Or maybe if you pick'em up and dress and behave really intimidating they give you what you want. - If they even can.
I wouldn't be so sure about him busy with 8 ducks: My Buff Orpington drake has an eye on Curiosity duck, one of my Runners, before that he was obsessed with Katharina. He is after her the whole day; After Limpy dragged him off this afternoon she was hiding in the duck house with Katharina. The other 13 ducks don't seem to be interesting at all, even if they flatten out in front of him. Had to hose him down four times today, i wish Blanca would bite his »worm« again...!

It is the way a fawn & white duck looks when she/he is running towards you: Brown sweater with white shorts, they look almost human.

Look at that video, when the ducks come running towards me. Don't they look like soccer players in the winter?

Might change our minds about Ideal. We can always hatch more Muttlings. They would be half runner but the big problem with that would be drakes.
