These ducks were developed in Scotland around 1900 from stock that came from the East Indies. These uniquely appearing ducks have long, slender bodies and a vertical posture thus leading to their nicknames of “Penguin Ducks” or “Bottle Necks.” Runners do not waddle like other ducks but move with a quick step. They are smaller ducks that are good foragers, lay white eggs, and are a very interesting addition to any farmstead. NEW this year Black, Chocolate, Fawn & White and Blue Runners will be available as indvidual breeds.
Love my runner ducks!!! Extremely healthy. Easy to herd because they like to stay in a tight grouping. They love the cold, too. My runners are out in the snow and ice right, now. They prefer that to being in the barn.
