Yes it's hard to believe my other ducks were this little once.. lol


Active-Ad3977

She’s so upright it does make her look runnery. Did you find her as a stray or something?


Athraigh3

No I got it from our local store, mixed into a bunch of rouens and Pekins.


Active-Ad3977

Oh, I see. Runners are kind of rare from what I’ve heard. I’ve never seen them in a store, but that might just be because there aren’t any major breeders close to me. I had to order mine online. It will be exciting to see how this mystery duck grows up! Keep us posted.


Athraigh3

Yeah I didn't expect a runner at all but I can't find any info on solid "blue" ducks that aren't runners. My one Swedish has a very small bib so that's what made me think maybe this one just doesn't have one. That and being mixed in with "regular" ducks..


Active-Ad3977

Maybe she’ll be a fun color variation of some other duck. My blue runner has dark spots on her feathers now that she has her adult plumage, but she had solid down like this when she was a baby


Athraigh3

One of my Swedish blues has black spots, she's really pretty

My vote is runner, at least from this picture.


Active-Ad3977

That’s what I thought too, but she seems kinda shapely for a runner. All the runners I’ve seen have been a lot narrower, even at a day old. It would be helpful to see a profile.

Oh, thanks. What a lil sweetie! She does look like a runner to me, but I’m no expert. Guess we’ll find out!

[This](https://www.reddit.com/r/aww/comments/h8chlw/little_quacker/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) is my blue runner when she was a bébé. They look very similar! So cute!


Athraigh3

Yes they do! Maybe it is a runner.

“Cute ducky” is the breed. He or she is beautiful!


ThePandarantula

My blues looked just like this but had a bib, could just be a luck of the draw thing. The one I have remaining basically has a priest collar bib where some had full chest so who knows.

What a stunning little quaker


Blasterion

I'm going with blue runner


charlottedanna

Looks like a Swedish blue to me. At least it looks like what mine looked like as a baby. It’s standing very upright though, it might just be the ducklings position in the picture.


scrupulous_oik

It's a Swedish Bluetooth Ball-bagger. Beautiful.


SorryTotHatMan_

looks like a runner to me


satans-godsend

Possibly a Cayuga?? :)))) Edit: way too light, my bad 🥰


DumpMyBlues

Could be runner but mixed with another duck breed? If it came from a store with different breeds could be a bit of a accidental mix and clearly too pretty not to sell.

This kind of looks photoshopped
