I got 3 Fawn and white runners this June and they are really fun to have! Two of them have paired up with ducks of other breeds, and they seem very devoted to their spouses. One of the drakes gets a little aggressive if I come close to him, he will run up to me with his bill open, latch on to my leg and drag behind me for 10 feet or so until he gives up! It doesn't hurt at all and is actually really funny to watch. These ducks are also the easiest to catch, they are quite friendly (excluding the aggressive one) and don't mind being held.
Most people say these ducks are flightless, but they are not all. The other drake can fly about 500 feet, and I think he could go farther if I took him away from the flock. He isn't awkward in flight and rarely crashes. However, he has never tried to fly out of the pen or anything, so that isn't a problem.
