Absolutely fine, as long as it's not medicated, as you say. Reared happy, healthy ducklings and goslings on them.

It's fine, it's the amprolium in medicated stuff that's the problem for ducklings.

What sort(s) are you getting  :)

Excellent  ;D

I have fawn and white runners - they just make me smile  :D

And i have one call duck x runner who is currently sitting on eggs somewhere in my neighbour's field, so I really hope she appears in a few days now with a trail of ducklings behind her  ;D
