Hatchery Choice Runner Day Old Ducklings

Hatchery Choice Runner Day Old Ducklings

IMPORTANT ORDERING DETAILS: Waterfowl have a minimum of 3 and you are able to mix and match among ducks and goose breeds to meet this minimum. Waterfowl will ship on Tuesday or Wednesday, USPS priority mail, and arrive 1-3 days later. Waterfowl are not able to be picked up as they are sent from our hatching partner.

The upright, slender posture of Runners sets them apart from other ducks and once gave them the nickname “penguin ducks." They carry their body at an angle of 45 to 75 degrees above horizontal. They have a long history of being herded, and after many generations evolved into ducks that could travel long distances at a quick pace. They are the most energetic ducks and will forage most of the day. Runner Ducks are also an excellent egg layer, at times outperforming some chickens breeds. Runner ducks lay white to bluish-green eggs.

If you order 1-5 of the Hatchery Choice Runners, you could receive only one color. If you order 6-14, you will receive at least 2 colors. If you order 15 or more, you will receive at least 3 colors of the Runner duck colors we carry. Since this is a hatchery choice option on the breeds, we cannot mark the order or make any notes as to which breeds that are included in your order.
