When do Indian runner ducks mate?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 3

I have 9 ducks and one Indian Runner named Lucy. She stands up very tall. It takes Indian Runner ducks to mate about 6 months to mate. They become teenagers in about the 4th month. 2 months later, they are adults. How do ducks mate? The male duck sits on top of the female. Somehow, the female duck lays her egg. She sits on top of her egg until she feels cracking noises. The egg hatches after about 28 days. For an Indian Runner to hatch, it takes about 35-36 days. So, about a month. Anyways, there is your answer.
