tom123 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Donald and Daffy have now really settled in, waddling around the garden, in the pond, in the house , flying on to the bench and going asleep Here's some pics...you can pick them up quite easily now but they strecth their necks out as far as possible Donald being grumpy... Daffy... And both of them in bed ... It is lovely having ducks in the garden and there are rumours of 2 Indian runner girls this summer *hopefully* Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom123 Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 Hi Tom They are really nice one question are they noisey with Calling?? may get some myself ?? indie Well, we heard that the girls are the noisy ones so steered well clear of them and got these two, not a sound! just a gentle quack, it's lovely. We are looking in a couple of indian runner girls, are these noisy? Any other comments? Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miller30 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 (edited) Hi tom my indian runners are not that noisy unless something spooks them my khakis are worse the only thing i would say is 2 drakes with 2 females may be to much attention for the girls but maybe ok as your boys are calls which are a lot smaller than indian runners leanne.

tom123 Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 My boys are call ducks but the indian runners will be free-range in the garden and the calls are in a covered run, they would only meet sometimes in the afternoon. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miller30 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 That would be fine i love indian runners they are so friendly i got mine when they were about 4 weeks old so we have tamed them they eat out your hands and if i cant see them i just whistle and they come running leanne.
