karencopas Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 i know and he's gorgeous now he's grown up too he looks like a lovely old fashioned pull along toy duck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortle Chook Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Oh how sweet. If he looks like a toy duck and has kept that little short bill then I'm sure he is a call duck though I'm no expert. Will you get others to go with him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karencopas Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 hi we have 5 others in with him which are indian runners-although i'm thinking of trying to post some pics of them as they aren't like the pictures i've seen in books of runners! unfortunatlely its worked out that out of 6 ducks we've kept after hatching 4 of them are drakes i'm thinking maybe i'll bring him home and find him a wife Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortle Chook Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Can't you put all your boys together in a bachelor pad, as drakes get along providing there are not girlies around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karencopas Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 the ducks i refer to as "my" ducks are actually ducks that i hatched at the nursery where i work. we have invested in a WIR and extension and a lovely purple cube we've had the part of the orchard where they are housed "foxproofed"(a wildlife co. layed foxproof mesh over an 11msq area)so i don't think the headteacher/schoolbudget could run to any more cost its a thought i'll keep in mind tho as hadn't thought of that option many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
