Runner Ducks are very tall and upright. They look almost comical with their penguin-like posture.

Originally bred for controlling pests in rice production, and Runner Ducks can still be put to great use removing pests in the garden and farm environment. Beyond their usefulness in pest control, Runner Ducks are excellent, even prolific, egg layers, outlaying many breeds of chickens. 100 and 180 eggs can be expected per year. Eggs are often tinted blue or green and are large.

The Runner Duck is a very old breed. They originated in Indonesia and were bred for both egg-laying and for controlling pests in rice paddies. They were first imported into Europe and Great Britain in the 1500s. Gray, Black, and Blue colors were admitted in 1977, White was admitted in 1914.
