They run, not waddle!
Why Indian Runners?
Quirky, active and great garden companions.
Indian Runners stand upright like little bottles and dash around the garden instead of waddling. They’re perfect for households wanting something a little different.
Great egg layers
Often more consistent than chickens. Duck eggs are richer, larger and great for baking.
Natural pest control
They hunt snails, slugs and bugs, so your garden gets a helping hand.
No pond needed
A kiddie pool or shallow tub is enough for splashing and keeping clean.
Suburb friendly
A small, safe backyard is enough, and they’re among the quieter breeds.

Frequently pondered questions
Thinking about owning ducks?
Do ducks need a pond?
No! A small kiddie pool or shallow water tub is enough for them to splash and clean themselves.
Do ducks need a lot of space?
No. A small backyard is enough. They need a safe, enclosed area and some room to forage.
Are ducks noisy?
Not really. Indian Runner ducks are among the quieter breeds compared to chickens. They make soft quacks, mostly when excited.
Do ducks smell bad?
Only if their area isn’t cleaned regularly. With proper bedding and maintenance, they’re clean and odour-free.
Do ducks lay eggs like chickens?
Yes, and often more consistently! Duck eggs are richer, larger and great for baking.
Are ducks messy with water?
They love water, but you can manage it. Use splash guards or place water tubs on gravel.
Do ducks attract pests?
No, they help control pests! Ducks eat snails, slugs and bugs, making them great for gardens.
Does duck poop and water harm my garden?
No, it’s a bonus! Duck manure and the water they splash in are rich in nutrients and make excellent natural fertiliser for your plants.
