My Runner drake has lost his drake feather again. Dude can’t keep it attached at all

Speaking of that, my drake got his official drake feather in. What he lost was only curved upwards, but what he had now is almost a full circle. It's pretty neat to watch the transformations they go through.

It really is my two Fawn and white are going through a small molt and colors are changing. Don’t you love the cinnamon color variations on them?

I sure do! The young runners are getting in their "butt" feathers, and each one looks a bit different from the rest. One has what looks like maybe white and buff on the same feathers. I'll try to get some pictures, but they don't like the hold still very long lol.

I do have a confession to make though. When their chest feathers first started coming in, for some reason I expected them to be white. So when I saw the buff color, I thought they were dirty. Oops!

Their little bills are starting to get some coloration near their faces now.

Yes the coloration on their bills I just love these 2 girls. I love them all but I am so glad I decided on these Fawn an White.

So pretty! I too am very happy about the F&W. I find the Black Runners beautiful too, but the F&W are all a little bit different from each other.

I've gotta say though, your Silver Runner is extremely pretty. I very much enjoy seeing her pictures.

 

[Miss Lydia]

I do love my black Runners the black on their faces and feet looks like leather and the colors that come out the purples and greens is stunning. My black females are getting whiter by the day though. Or I should say by the molt. And my blue too. Pearl is a gorgeous girl. I am glad to have gotten that silver too. I also had a blue dusky out of that hatch and could kick myself everyday for rehoming g him. But then again have to keep the ratio under control. What plans for birthday boy today?

What plans for birthday boy today?

Nothing to big for today. Going to get a bite to eat with just the immediate family. Tomorrow we are doing a party for the rest of the family, and a few friends. There is a place near by that is like a big indoor bounce house, but they have a section for the really little ones too. It's about 2,000 sq/ft of obstetrical, but the whole thing is covered in about 2" foam. There's lot of things for him to hold while practicing walking, little hills to climb, and all kinds of geometrical shapes just laying around for them to play with.

The blue dusky, was that the one with black and blue patches? I wish we where closer to each other, I would have bought him off you in a flash. It is good that you where able to rehome him/them though. Did you hatch the silver too, or was she bought?
