Hints for farmers The Indian Runner Duck
The Indian Runner Duck is a small heavy laying breed, four to four and a half pounds, with fawn or gray and white colors. It matures early and thrives without water except for drinking, suited for general farm use. Ducklings are easy to raise, shade is needed in warm weather, water to drink, and mature ducks require only a dry shed with litter. They forage well and return to quarters at night. Eggs are large and firm for culinary uses.

This season half the corn is fed as snapped corn and half as shelled corn, with early results suggesting snapped corn supplies all desirable cob.
