I love my Fawn/White Runners
 
what color is your drake? Might you hatch some of their eggs eventually? That is a really fun cool thing to do! If you are think about the colors of the babies your 2 ducks could possibly make. Do you want everyone to look the same or do you want a variety? This is something you'll have plenty of time to figure out until next spring when you're allowed to get another one.

You might want to think about getting a grown duck because if you get a baby it will be very lonely!

I have runners too. 6 fawn/white girls & 1 chocolate boy laid eggs and this spring I hatched out a really different looking blackish pied boys and a real pretty blue pied girls. So now I've got an interesting variety of colors which I love. So, just think about it. Sameness or variety?
The 2 ducks on the left are the result of fawn/white mom & chocolate dad

That's why I didn't say duckling. I plan on getting a young female that's either close to laying or laying already.
Our drake is a Khaki Campbell. His current mate is a Chocolate Runner. Both are around 4 months old.
I want a variety.
Until I can convince my parents to allow me to get more, I'm obeying the '1 duck only' rule for now.
 
Here is my Fawn/White (UK standard) Runner Duck ... Daisy !
Miss Lydia's Fawn/White are paler (US standard) See photo above here (!)
Love Fawn/White...
Bit bias, as Daisy is my first Duck to have ! And the first duck egg I hatched. (OK in a Janoel 12.) Man or Machine, I'm still Mum (UK) Mom (US). :yesss:

Your Daisy looks like my little Spot's twin! So pretty and a bit different than a regular fawn/white.
