Duck Breed Focus - Indian Runner

[N F C]

Ducklings are cute but those runner ducklings have to be the cutest of all!

Does anyone know of a breeder or hatchery (in or able to ship to western Washington) that has reliably upright Runners? At some point I'd like to add a couple more hens to my flock, and I'd like to get some straight up bowling pins

I've seen more fawn & white runner ducks that aren't straight up. The black and the chocolate runner ducks I have are all straight up. It looks like to many breeders have out crossed to white Peking duck's and it's pulled the straight up right stance down.

I was just looking at ducklings last month, and I thought I came across his hatchery. Let me look around.

If I remember right, they have a 10 duckling minimum. That counted me out. Unless you can find some neighbors who also need ducks, that is a big commitment.

apparently though they're getting rid of the runners (and some other breeds) so now's kinda the last chance, unless you find someone buying the stock. :/

I know it would be quite a drive but Dunlap Hatchery in Caldwell Idaho is where I got my Indian Runner ducks.

Hmmm... maybe I could talk the husband into a road trip...
