I think that Runners are pretty easy, really, but I haven't had any other breeds before.The spring is getting closer! I'm going to order a dozen runner duck eggs to hatch when it warms up! I've had a few before but is there anything that I should do for them that I don't do for my other three ducks (two muscovies and a crested cayuga)? They'll be free ranging during the day. They won't have access to the big pond unless they go through the fence. They will have a large kiddy pool though.
Contrary to assumptions made about the breed due to their name, they do love water!
