What does Indian runner ducks need?
if you mean setting then no, the don't sett(siting on there eggs to hatch them) on eggs very often, and if they do they might abandon the nest at anytime from a few days till days before hatching, apparently they are not good mothers, i have had them set but not raise them,( the eggs got eaten before hatch), if you want them for eggs then there good(200 eggs a year), just make sure you have a coop for them or keep them indoors till the lay there egg(usually in the morning), and they will lay eggs wherever they are when they have to, so if there free ranging you will have to go on an egg hunt, but if you have a pond then you might find alot of the eggs in the pond, at least that's what i fin with mine,
When do Indian runner ducks mate?
I have been told that apart from venting them which seems to need someone who knows what they are doing that ducks quack (from six weeks of age) and drakes squawk. Mine are only two weeks old so waiting to see how true that is. There are also differences in the bill when they are older and drakes of course are bigger - will come back to you when I have worked it all out out too!! :) I have runners too. This is what I have noticed. Drakes will have a very hoarse sounding quack and the ducks will have a loud normal quack. Also, the drakes will have a distinct curl on the tail feather. I haven't noticed any difference in their bills nor in their feet as one person told me. Venting is a bit of a challenge. I can't seem to keep my birds still enough to even try. I have a book that says the male organ will protrude a bit from the vent area after a second or two of checking whereas the female organ will stay kinda curled up inside the vent. Hope this extra helps. Good luck everyone.
Can Indian Runner ducks be kept outside during winter?
We have several varieties of ducks. They seem to enjoy the winter weather. We have a little house for them to stay in in the winter but they seem to prefer to be outside. They really like the snow. It is kind of neat to watch them play in it. Hope this helps you.
