Why Ducks Make a Great Addition to Any Farm or Backyard

Ducks are a fantastic choice for small farms and backyard flocks. Here’s why:

  • Natural Pest Control – Ducks love to forage for bugs, slugs, and other pests, making them a great organic solution for garden and farm pest management.

  • Cold-Hardy and Resilient – Ducks tolerate cold, wet weather much better than chickens, making them a great choice for Oregon’s climate.

  • Low Maintenance and Easy to Raise – They don’t need perches like chickens, and they thrive with simple shelter and access to water.

  • Great Egg Production – Many duck breeds, including Runners, are known for their consistent egg-laying.

  • Friendly and Fun to Watch – Ducks are social birds with quirky personalities, making them an enjoyable addition to any homestead.

Meet the Silver Runner Duck

The Silver Runner Duck is a new color variation of the popular Indian Runner Duck breed. These ducks are known for their upright stance, making them look like they are running on two legs.

Characteristics of the Silver Runner Duck

  • Coloration: White and very light gray feathering with a dark bill.

  • Body Shape: Sleek and upright, giving them a distinct and elegant look.

  • Foraging Ability: Highly active, these ducks love to roam and search for food, making them excellent at natural pest control.

  • Egg Production: Lays approximately 150–200 eggs per year.

  • Lightweight Build: Less likely to trample vegetation compared to heavier breeds.

Runners have been bred for centuries for their mobility and egg production, and their unique look makes them a great conversation piece for any flock!
