Fawn and White Runner Ducks

Fawn and White Runner Ducks

The Indian Runner Duck is a lightweight, active, and popular breed known for its unique upright stance and excellent egg-laying abilities. Maturing at about 4-4.5 lbs for drakes and 3.5-4 lbs for hens, they have a sleek body and do not waddle like other ducks—instead, they run. Native to Malaysia, the most popular color variety is the Fawn and White Runner.

Recognized in the American Standard of Perfection in 1898, Indian Runner Ducks are energetic, with a strong flock instinct, and constantly forage for vegetation and insects. They’re ideal for those looking for an active, high-egg-producing duck.
