🥚 Indian Runner
Ducks · breed reference
NOT FROM INDIA — it came from the East Indies on the Indian trade routes, and Dutch and British sailors brought it home. It stands upright and RUNS rather than waddling, herds like sheep, cannot fly at all, and is the best slug patrol you can put in a garden. Half the Khaki Campbell's ancestry. The APA breed name is simply RUNNER.

Strains
- Production · ~300 eggs/yr · lays ~19 wks — Utility lines — over 300 eggs a year is genuinely on the table, and the carriage is looser.
- Exhibition · ~150 eggs/yr · lays ~24 wks — Show-bred for the near-vertical wine-bottle stance, which costs it half the eggs.
