Why are these the only possibilities? I dont think it is black runner, and there is a size difference even as duklings with cayugas and BIEs isnt there?

Cause he said these came from Ideal and those duck are the only dark colored ones

Ok i have to ask. Did you get these directly from ideal. or did you get them from a tractor supply or COOP or something like that ordered them from ideal?

I bought them from a feed store that only orders from Ideal. I've dealt with this feedstore for years, and I know the ducks came from Ideal.

Thats what i thought. I use to get ducklings from feed stores and stuff. but don't anymore. Reason being is most of the time hatcherys give the feed stores ducklings that aren't always "pure" and that they don't advertise on there site. and usually put all in a big stock tank. i have gotten a couple of birds from feedstores that were all kinds of mixed. I had a cayuga that when he first feathered out had a white bid (too young to have white) and i also had a khaki drake that has white on the side of his neck and a black runner that had the bill of a runner but the body stood flat like a regular duck (her daughter looks like a black colored mallard

)


course i say all of this and yet i have had gotten a few birds from feed stores (actually said from ideal) and have showed them and gotten grand champion.

Could have been a black swedish?

not a true bib like a black swedish. had a green sheen on all feathers like that of a cayuga, a green bill, but yet orange feet.. its possible though that it could be a mix between the two though.

i'll correct myself i shouldn't have said white bib. i should have said white on the neck and chest. I'll see if i can find a pic of him.

That is why I buy from Cackle Hatchery from now on. I have a black swedish crested duck and shes sweet as can be.
