Description
Runner Duck hatching eggs now available to order - these are collected fresh each day and come from a flock of over 50 runner ducks, so you will get a lovely mix of colours... You can collect from our farm at BN8 6JD or have them posted anywhere in the UK. You can order directly from our website at East Sussex Smallholders - look under hatching eggs.We send eggs UK-wide via tracked delivery, each one carefully packed into shaped polystyrene boxes inside sturdy cardboard outers to help protect them from knocks and temperature changes during transit. It’s a system that’s served us well over many seasons of hatching and posting.Fertility typically runs around 70%, and posted hatches usually come out at about half, which is completely normal. So you may only get 2 or 3 ducklings hatching from 6 hatching eggs. As a tip, it’s best to let your eggs rest for 24 hours before setting so the air cells settle properly.We often have other breeds available too, including Commerical White Aylesbury and Khaki Campbell, so you can mix your hatch if you’d like a variety. Quantities are limited each week once laying begins, so early reservations do help secure your spot.About Runner Ducks:Runner Ducks are lively, upright birds known for their fun personalities and excellent egg production. They’re gentle, quick on their feet, and fantastic foragers — ideal for gardens or smallholdings. Their calm nature and upright stance make them one of the most entertaining breeds to watch and one of the easiest to keep.
