Did you know we have more than just cows around here? The first hatch of ducklings just came out of the incubator and they’re a feisty bunch!
Indian Runner ducks are best known for their goofy upright posture, like a walking wine bottle. They are considered the best foragers of all duck breeds and will cover a large area in search of ticks, snails, slugs, and whatever other tasty edibles they can find. My own ducks have done an excellent job of controlling the tick population around my farm! Runner ducks have exuberant, bubbly personalities that are evident immediately after hatching and are incredibly entertaining to watch as they zoom around looking for bugs. They are also prolific layers capable of laying over 300 eggs per year.
Send us a message if you’re interested in adding some of these little pest patrollers to your yard! We also often have fresh duck eggs available for local pickup.
