Indian runner ducks

Jeez I keep losing the bookmark for this site and googling “country talks and tipsl and getting the old site,

Not a bother DP. Long time no speak. Hows things?

Oh half my message seems to have vanished, wonder what I did wrong .....?

All good Wayland though we are seriously behind with planting as I’m sure everyone is, lots down but little germinated :-(. Currently chasing our tails doing two many jobs in too little time ...no doubt but it sounds familiar to you all ;-)

I’m looking to get some Indian runner ducks for my young lad - does anyone know if they can be sexed as chicks? We don’t want to breed but would like to raise them from duckling stage. Also does anyone know where I’d pick some up? Aylesbury and appleyards seem to be prevalent but having difficulty sourcing runners. We’re in Clare bu5 will travel within reason ...if you hear of anything please let me know

Hi DP great to have you back.
I might have a contact for you in Limerick. Give me a couple of days if that not to far away. Its down south on the Kerry border.

That would be brilliant Deryn thanks

Thanks very much Deryn - got our 3 Indian runner ducklings on Saturday, himself is well chuffed

They are so cute, can't believe mine looked like that 2 years ago.
Glad to help, hope he enjoys them

Runner ducks are so cool. They're being used in Belgium by municipalities to get rid of caterpillars in box hedges so no pesticides have to be used
