How do you cage train runners? I have trained chickens before but not runners. I show them so I'd like to know how to train them.

I just purchased 3 chocolate runners a couple days ago from a tailgate sale! They are so darn cute! I vent sexed them and I THINK I have 1 drake and 2 hens. Not to sure how old they are, no feather's yet but one does have a loud quack already

I don't have Runners but one way would be herding, find you a walking stick or something close and begin walking behind them using the stick to keep them close together and in front of you. I have done this with all my Muscovies. Most ducks herd real well.

Sorry misunderstood you, try PMing fowlman01 he judges and shows his runners and a very nice man I bet he'd give you some tips.
