I'm sure if you don't say anything but use the old 'they've been here for months' trick if he says anything, it'll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rich0869 Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 But still adorable!!!! And good characters too, theyve both got individual personalities. Its great watching them run around doing their own thing. Theyve just started growing feathers in places, cant wait to see what they will look like.

They don't get much bigger then campbells do they? Hi Helen, this is the first time ive kept ducks so its new to me! Ive done lots of research and from what i know they grow to 12-14" tall. Ive asked Omlet and they say a pair of runners are fine in an eglu but i will find out for sure when i receive my eglu on 7th August, people on the forum also seem to think they are fine in an eglu. Not long till I get my eglu now so im looking forward to it!!! Im pretty sure they are smaller than campbells in weight but around the same height when stood up. Me and the girlfriend had to have runners when we saw them. Quite hard to get hold of though, I tried a lots of local breeders and no one had any, in the end i had to drive to Exeter to get them the day after hatching (2 hours drive each way) but it was worth it to get the breed i wanted.

Lesley Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Lovely photos! Our Runner is the same height as the three Campbells, so they should be fine in an Eglu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
