I absolutely love my flock of 12 Indian Runners. They are very high energy and quite "quacky" although not as loud as Pekins. They do such a good job foraging, and they are relatively small ducks, so the food to egg ratio is quite good. Chocolate Runners produce light blue eggs about the size of a Chicken's egg but with a slightly different sheen and slightly more rounded shape. The inner membrane is thicker as well. I didn't cuddle them much as babies, so they aren't super interested in being touched, but they don't really avoid me, either. If you got one or two and handled it a lot as a baby, they would make a nice country pet. They are SO funny to watch.
