What type of duck is this?

[BlueO]

I have four ducks all of them are runners (or so I thought). I thought this one was one, but she doesn’t act like one. Does anybody know if she is?

she definitely looks like a runner . what do you mean she does not act like one - what kind of actions are you talking about?

She is always hunched over and she really stands up straight like my others

If she is from a hatchery, not all hatchery Runners have the tall straight up and down stance. She has the coloring of a Fawn and White she sure looks like a Runner, very pretty.

@Luv Ducks has 2 Runner females who don't stand erect.

Yes I bought two from an individual seller on Craigslist and neither stand erect. Then I got two from our local Rural King Farm store. As ducklings they were both erect. My Hen still stands like the bowling pen but the drake started to stand like my other two. I think it has something to do with the grade of Runner that is in them. I am glad that I at least have one that stands like the bowling pen as they are so cute and funny but I still love my other three as they are very sweet.
