Blue Runner Ducks are the beauty of the Runner Duck family. They have a deep charcoal grey color and are quite stunning. Runner duck's bodies stand up more than a traditional duck and have a unique “walk” versus a traditional waddle. With these attributes, they can move more quickly and even have the ability to be herded. Blue Runner Ducks are great for insect control as they are efficient foragers and are excellent egg producers. Runner ducks lay white to bluish-green eggs. If you are looking for an active and beautiful Runner Duck, then the Blue Runner Duck is an excellent option.
Because of our breeding program, you will receive all blue ducklings. However, any offspring you may chose to hatch out, will follow typical blue genetics of blue black and splash. You can read more about blue genetics in our Help Desk Article.
After the first year, females may develop white feathers among their blue feathers. This will continue as they age. Read more here: Why are my Ducks Getting White Feathers?
