Fawn & White Runner Duck
The Fawn & White Runner Duck is a unique and striking variety of the Indian Runner Duck, known for its upright posture, excellent egg-laying ability, and attractive fawn-colored plumage paired with white markings.
Key Features:
Appearance: The Fawn & White Runner Duck has a distinctively upright stance, which gives it a "running" appearance, as it tends to stand more vertically than most other duck breeds. Its body is slender and streamlined, designed for efficient movement. The Fawn & White variety features a soft fawn-colored body with white on its chest, face, and underbelly, creating a beautiful contrast.
Size: Runner ducks are medium-sized, with males (drakes) typically weighing between 4-5 lbs and females (hens) around 3-4 lbs. Despite their slim appearance, they are well-muscled and active, with a focus on egg production rather than meat.
Egg Production: One of the standout traits of the Fawn & White Runner Duck is its prolific egg-laying ability. They are among the best egg layers in the duck world, often producing 250-300 eggs per year. Their eggs are typically white and are prized for their large size and rich flavor.
Temperament: Fawn & White Runner Ducks are energetic, friendly, and highly social. They are known for being very active and love to forage, often running around the yard in search of food. While not particularly cuddly, they are curious and easy to handle, especially when raised in a calm and safe environment.
Hardiness: Like other Runner ducks, the Fawn & White variety is hardy and adaptable to a variety of climates. They can thrive in both hot and cold conditions, as long as they have access to clean water and shelter. Their active nature and tendency to forage make them excellent for free-range environments.
Summary:
The Fawn & White Runner Duck is a medium-sized, highly productive duck breed known for its upright posture, beautiful fawn and white plumage, and exceptional egg-laying ability. Energetic and social, they are great foragers and do well in free-range setups, making them a popular choice for those looking for a productive and visually appealing duck for both eggs and ornamental purposes.
