Bowling Pin... or not so much

[Dandy's mom]

My Dandy is an indian runner (supposedly not cross breed from large hatchery) I've noticed that she does not walk so upright like other indian runners, almost like a mallard even or pekin. Is there some exercise or something she's missing out on? Is she just lazy or what? I'm just curious since all the pick are upright ducks and she isn't.

My one runner Sheldon (on the right) is kind of that way too. She doesn't stand quite as tall as the others most of the time. But if she is startled by a plane flying overhead or reaching for a treat out of my hand she can make herself nice and tall Dandy is a super pretty girl.

Mine only stand tall like a bowling pin if on alert my Runner drake is the only one of my Runners with good Runner posture.when they are on the hunt they are stooped over looking over the area with their heads moving back and forth real fast it is hysterical looking.

Mine don't go into penguin mode unless they are excited, scared, begging or running - they are also hatchery birds.

I thought Dandy was a cross from all your other posts?..
