Why We Keep Runner Ducks in Our Cottage Garden and Vegetable Plot

Meet our trio of Indian Runner Ducks. Here are some of the main reasons we decided to go for these particular ducks, and how they help us around the garden. Let us know if there's anything else you'd like to know about them as we would love to make some more videos.

Absolutely. We have 2 ducks and a drake and whenever I’ve had a nightmare day… I just go outside and watch them or have a hug. Love your garden x

I want ducks so bad, and runners really seem to be all around the best backyard birds available. Apparently spending time with birds is good for your mental health:)

Runners are so adorable. Eggs, pest control, fertilizer and personality: What more can you ask?

This is wonderful! I never knew ducks could be great for the garden and they are so cute!!

Hello, thank you very much for the interesting introduction to these pets. Many months ago I first saw them on your channel. And they immediately fascinated me. My name is Elena. I live in Russia. In the old village. In the family home. I'm restoring our garden. We have an old cat, he is 19 years old. And a 14 year old dog. And on April 14 we had little ducklings. We bought 6 small Indian Runners. Thank you again. And I’ll leave a link to your video in the comments.

Loved this video! I've also just watched the tour of your cottage and loved it. I'm not an Instagram or Facebook kind of girl (never had an Instagram or Facebook account) so your perfectly-imperfect video is a breath of fresh air. I'm off to watch some more of your other videos now. 😊

I am so wanting a few ducks… haven’t broached the subject with my husband… at first he said “No!” to chickens… now he loves going out and feeding weeds to “the girls.” So… when I figure out where I would keep them, I’ll start the conversation.

I “accidentally” got some in tractor supply and they happen to be the Indian runner ducks… I think. So here I am learning. It’s my first time having ducks

1:50 Fifty years ago we had a herd of Pekin ducks, we used the eggs in cooking also, they were stronger flavored, not bad at all, but they did make baked things and pancakes etc. more tough, now 50 years later with far more knowledge of cooking I realize that the toughness could be remedied by adding more fat to the recipe. 2:28 Fascinating! We need ducks then, because slugs here in Ohio after rain storms will absolutely strip and destroy young plants and new growth.

Are you able to potentially do a ‘Dummies Guide’ to owning Runner Ducks - e.g. What straw do you use for their bedding?

[Zwollem]

Amazing video!! I didn't know they were flightless. I hope to get a couple of runner ducks in the future :)
