Looking for high quality pictures of Indian runner ducks.

[Kkrista123]

I have TONS of pics because I have an indoor runner. Only thing is she's got a fawn and white runner mom and her dad makes her a mix! She's either runner X Buff mix or runner X KC mix. If mixed runner pics would help, let me know. I got TONS and can take pics of her so easily because she's human imprinted!

Not a high quality picture but since we're talking Runners I just had to share this one of my Gabby 'smiling'

Not much i can say about other than agree in all points!
But i doubt that people will listen to you, unfortunately. People still adore Persian Cats and other sick-breed pets even though it is widely known that they have health issues. And hey, "it's just a duck!" who cares…

Yeah I know.. buyers that do not get informed first are usely not the smarter ones. They tend to follow on emotions only. Not thinking ahead. And it a plan fails, they still blaime the ducks.
I have a aquintance that works in a big-communital-garden project to make the city greener and educate children, they had a lot of problems with snails. I had 3 ducks ready for sale, but I thought maybe they could use them and I would like to contribute to this wonderfull project. So I offered her these ducks for free and the help to set a coop etc. up. Her reply 'omg no, ducks are so stupid, your really stupid if you keep ducks, we already had a few and they were allways fighting and always kept dieing so stupid'. (yeah...that is the ducks fault, absolutely has nothing to do which you are keeping, how you are keeping them, and if you take care of them well enough...)

For a lot of people it seems that when they don't know why or how; they blame another. But if there was someone, or a place on the internet, that at that moment could answer why her ducks were fighting and dieing off.. the story would probably have ended different. These people are teachable. You only have to make it really easy and simple for them to obtain and understand information. I want to add a lot of clear pictures due that reason. And had to dumb down a lot of my writing, how simpeler it is how readable by more. And I'm adding choice flow charts about what kind of ducks would suite you (ducklings, male or female, or none at all), checklists what your yard needs, Visually plans how big a coop should be with what amount of ducks, etc.

Certain pictures I don't really care. Feet, duck-disceases, it's not so relevant if they are specific Indian runner ducks; a clear picture is better then an unclear picture. I see your duckling now and it's not really tellable on a lot of picks that is half runner. But on adults I have to be a bit harsh, since a problem here is that they are massively breeded with other species, and I don't want to give the bad example Nothing personal to the half-runners or their owners offcourse. But a problem here is that a lot of ducks are sold as full Indian runner (on purpose to make money) and that is just lieing to the customer. I want people to be better at recognizing how a runner looks. I could use one of those bath picture though For the article 'Can I take my ducks in the bathtub with me?'
