If you are looking for a Runner Duck with truly striking coloring, then the Chocolate Runner Duck a perfect choice. The Chocolate Runner Duck has chocolate brown coloring as its name suggests. Like other Runner Ducks, the Chocolate Runner Duck has an upright body, and appear to almost walk rather than waddle. Their unique upright body allows them to move quickly, and have the ability to be herded. Runner ducks are excellent egg layers, often outperforming some chicken breeds, and are naturally good at foraging, which is helpful for insect control. Runner ducks lay mostly bluish-green eggs.

After the first year, females may develop white feathers among their brown feathers. This will continue as they age. Read more here: Why are my Ducks Getting White Feathers?
