I Have spent years convincing my partner to let me get ducks .....have got two beautiful runners ducks now , just found out the eggs make me violently ill, im absolutely gutted , but will be keeping them anyway ,will just have to give them to family and friends luckly my kids love them .

I eat indian runner eggs , the kids and I love them the yolks are thicker and bigger than chicken eggs , perfect for dippy egg and soldiers for the kids
