Where did you get her?

WOW! What a cutie! If I ever get a chance to get more duckies that's what I'm going to try to find. My daughter LOVES runners and I adore the silver appleyard.

Same here...except it was me who loves runner

I got her from: http://www.waterfowlworld.co.uk/

It's a duck and goose farm based in North Wales...just over from the English border.
Bit of a drive there to get her...but it's the only place in the world I believe that does Appleyard Runners.

In that case...

I'm assuming they won't ship to west USA.

Someone here needs to breed those!
Enjoy your beautiful gal!

ETA: I just noticed you are the one with the White Campbell also...you have very gorgeous (and productive if I remember the thread correctly) ducks! I'm envious of your flock.

Don't think we can get those out here...

Yes. I do have the white Campbell...still 1 egg / day...only 3 missed days since 2nd Sept 2009, and they were in October and November. I am hoping this Runner will be a productive duck.
I heard that you couldn't get Campbells in the USA too...well some people say you "can", but they are bred from a tin can, some concrete and a magpie...somehow people in the states think that's a Campbell. Hmmmmm.

When I picked up the Runner 2 weeks ago Graham, the duck breeder, was saying how he sells the ducks world wide and he's travelled to Chicago and Amsterdam with them. He had over 3600 eggs in monster incubators and god knows how many hatched critters. Some serious breeding

I am assuming that is if someone is buying 50+ ducks from him and not just 1 as a pet like I did. Not sure how he transports them...I didn't ask.

You can always email him...it can't hurt...He has white Campbells too.

LOL! You crack me up.

That is so true where the Whites are concerned. Breed development and re-creation seems to be a very touchy topic though, so I will leave it at that.

I've taken some more photos.
She's now 5.5 weeks old and is well on her way to being completely feathered out and started quacking a few days ago.

Mmmmm this mud tastes good:

What's that you're pointing at me:

See, I can stand taller than you Boggling (White Campbell):

I love her coloring, it looks fantastic, espescially the eye stripes.

I'll post more in a week or so.

I've been lurking in this thread, my goodness she was a beautiful baby and now she's stunning. I will enjoy looking at the pretties on Graham's site - nice work he does!
