Day-Old Indian Runner Ducklings

Day-Old Indian Runner Ducklings — Upright, Lively & Utterly Charming

Indian Runner ducklings are a delight from the moment they hatch — alert, active, and already showing the upright posture that makes this breed so distinctive. Whether you're adding to an existing flock or starting fresh, Runners are a fantastic choice for anyone who wants a productive, entertaining, and low-maintenance duck.

Why Choose Indian Runners?

• Outstanding layers — hens can produce up to 300 eggs per year
• Brilliant foragers — excellent for natural pest control in the garden
• Upright and elegant — they run rather than waddle, making them endlessly entertaining to watch
• Friendly and sociable — they thrive in groups and quickly become tame

Care for Your Ducklings

Keep ducklings in a warm brooder at around 30–32°C for the first week, reducing gradually as they feather up. Use waterfowl or chick crumb feed — ensure they can dip their bills in water to keep their nostrils clear. Ducklings should not have access to open water unsupervised until fully feathered.

Please note: ducklings are available for collection only. We do not ship live birds. Collection arrangements will be confirmed after purchase.
