Trout Indian Runners WHO HAS THEM ???

I have three good drakes - one blue trout and two penciled runners.

At this point I have a few eggs of her with a blue trout drake. That will start me having a group of trout runners (with some blue trouts thrown in) as soon as I get my incubator in the mail. Not sure if I'm interested in breeding for Saxony, but that would remain an option. I'd also like to try breeding her with a penciled runner drake to get the brown gene in there for gold trout. I could simply breed out the runner markings to get gold (brown) trout.

On the other hand... I could mix the trout with the runner markings (either in brown or in regular trout color). This might take a few generations, but would presumably yield a duck with great head stripes paired with lots of runner white. This would, presumably, create a very striking non-standard duck. On the drake side of that same design, the M+ gene combined with the penciled runner genes would presumably give a penciled runner with a chestnut/burgundy colored chest fading into the regular brown before reaching the white band on the belly. This would be a colorful drake with fully white under-wing (mallard as opposed to dusky). That would again be non-standard but might be really pretty. So I would have new colors of runner ducks - pied trout and/or gold pied trout. Just a dream at this point, but we'll see.
 
Hi guys.. we have the vast majority of the Holderread elite runners. Teaser photo attached. We will ship back to the US in small amounts in 2017.

We are a preservation.

Hello. Do you have any trout or mallard runner? I’d love some eggs to diversify my flock. We live in Washington. Thank you!
 
There doesn't seem to be many people with Trouts. There are a couple of people that bought the remainder of the Holderread stock of Trouts. They can probably put you in touch with them if you email them for their contact information. I know there is another member here that is starting to breed Trouts (Lisette, screen name Senna95). I have a few as well and hope to set some up next year for breeding. You might try breeders that have Greys as well because lots of Runners carry light phase, which creates Trout. Holderread's sent me some of the last of their Grey Runners and I have one pen in particular that is producing the occasional Trout (wild type plus light phase, li/li). I am planning to separate those into a new breeding group and hopefully offer Trouts next year.
Hello. Are you breeding trout runners? I’m interested in getting eggs or ducklings.
 
I have two, still just babies, I bought the eggs off of Chseeads off of here. They are adorable, and I hope I got one boy and one girl so I can continue this beautiful color of runners.
Hello. Did you have any luck continuing the trout color? I’m interested in eggs so I can start some!
