Looking to add Indian Runner ducklings to your back garden flock? Our runner ducklings are due to hatch on 1st April 2026 and you can reserve yours now, and then we are open for collecting them on Good Friday 4th April, and Easter Saturday (5th April 2026) and Bank Holiday Easter Monday. These runner duck duckling will need to be on heat for 3 weeks - and then still be kept in a warm place for another 3 weeks. You can also collect the sexed runner ducklings throughout April and May during our opening hours. Please note that these will sell out long before they actually hatch - so get yours reserved if you are seriously thinking about it. 

We recommend a trio - which is two girls to one boy - it is hard to intergrate another duckling if you only buy a pair.

Available to reserve online, and then you can come and pick your exact duckling when you get here.. We can manually sex your ducklings with a 9/10 success rate - so whilst we can't 100% guarantee females, we can be as sure as humanly possible that you are getting girls. 

These active, upright ducks are a favourite among smallholders and poultry keepers for their unique look, excellent foraging habits, and high egg production. Perfect for families, smallholdings, or anyone wanting fun, productive garden ducks.
