Indian Runner Ducks

dazed+confused

I have a broody hen and want to put a half dozen Indian Runner Duck eggs under her along with a half dozen of my own Khaki Campbell eggs.

Does anyone have any fertile Indian Runner eggs to swap/sell? Preferably White Indian Runners. Drogheda/North Dublin area.

I've had a good look around Donedeal and Buy and Sell, just thought I'd post here too. Its always good to meet another hobbyist who has had similar experience of keeping ducks on my scale rather than a commerical farmer who is churning them out of a farmyard.

Were your ducks good layers? The two Khaki Campbell ducks I have are like two little egg factories.

I was showing one of the lads in work a picture of the new ducks I'm getting, he coiled up with laughter saying it was the funniest looking duck he'd ever seen. I suppose that adds to their character though.
