Quote: Up un-till 3 months ago when I had just started with my duck flock, I always took Molting as a dirty, bad, condition.But all it is , Is getting ready to be more beautiful with fresh feathers. The other day I caught each one to inspect them and with the one Black Swedish, I had a hand full of black feathers in my hand, That was the only sign of her molting so far.

Quote: Oh, you have beautiful runners. By the time I had my 6 ducks with only one runner, that is when I really liked the Indian runners. I only started with ducks because of the eggs, but I truly enjoy watching them. I had bought 6 at first and was told that they were all hens but found that two were drakes. I did not want to do it but We processed the drakes right away. I answered an ad on a Khake Campbell and Indian Runner two weeks laster.. The Indian Runner was so dominant , it worry`d me. I had to combine them slowly but she is still the Queen and no one challenges her. She is a very kind duck and it is just that no one is going to push her around. Mine have no names except I call them as a group. (Ducky ) I have learned so much in this site. I love it.

Welcome!

another quacker amongst the peeps!
I raise Indian Runners and would love to share notes with you.
Are you going to the meet up at the Monroe Fair??
I have 9 ducks

Here is my latest addition...Benard (aka Benji) and Bella. Benard is VERY TALL. That fence is 26" and he plops his head over the fence.
They are Blue Trout Runners from Dave Holderread's Farm in Oregon.

Here is Geraldine & George, also from Holderread that I got as babies. They are gold trout runners. Guarding their toy bag.

and here is the rest of the gang that I incubated last spring.
They have some mallard genes i them, so I keep them just for eggs and entertainment.
Scooter is a clown.
