First, watching a runner duck run is awesome. They can find their own food. They aren't like pekins in water. Mine haven't started laying but I heard their decent.

yes they will set when they get around 12-16 eggs . i think they are poor mothers . i take the babies away raise them . if not i never have very good luck . also i get eggs from there nest to incubate . keeps them laying longer and from going broody so soon.
