Chocolate runners

[Sebrightmom]

Are chocolate runners hard to find? I have two hens that I love and would like to find a drake. I have been told I could use a black drake and work my way to get chocolates. I am unsure what would be the easiest and best thing to do. I would love any advise I can get. Thanks

I remember a thread in the " Meat Birds Etc " section about somebody ordering ducks , and a mention of a hatchery , in California I believe , that specializes in ducks and geese . You might browse through and find it .

Holderread has some of the best if not the best Runners and he has Chocolate Runners...

black drake X chocolate hen = 100% black ducklings, drakelets will be chocolate carriers.
chocolate drake X black hen = black drakelets that carry chocolate and chocolate ducklets.

They are pretty easy to some across,
I think Most hatcheries carry chocolate color
runners.
