The first thing you notice about these ducks is their curious upright stance. As their name suggests these ducks run rather than fly which makes them easy to contain at home.
Indian Runners are known for their egg laying capabilities and you can expect an egg every day in spring and summer.
These ducks are relatively easy to easy for. You don't need to have a pond, an old childrens paddling pool is enough for them to have a wash and brush up. Another smaller conatiner should be used for their drinking water.
If you want some endearing pets and lovely eggs these are the ducks for you.
