Book Description
Excerpt from The Indian Runner Duck Book I think it was about 1904 or 1905 that the first important literature concerning the Indian Runner Ducks was published in this country. At about this time, good articles, dealing with the wonderful qualities of this new breed were published in at least three of our poultry periodicals. Soon, breeders, here and there, began to try them in a somewhat gingerly way, as though rather expecting a gold brick. The great service which this early literature did the breed was to call public attention strongly to it, through what then seemed the exorbitant claims made for these birds as layers. After a few years Mr. Irving Cook took up this breed, advertising continuously and rather strikingly. As he began the work when young and enthusiastic, and, later, gave his entire strength to his Indian Runner business the Runners soon found themselves in the midst of a "boom." But even before him several men who still breed the Runners were at work with this breed. As soon as the breed began to attract keen attention, some breeders who wished to improve it in every possible way began to make inquiries as to its origin. One early breeder who made every effort to get the true history about this time reports that even then "it seemed to be a matter of surmise. All the writers' ideas on the subject seemed to be vague, and many conflicting statements were made." Some of the causes for this haziness and conflict of statement I have been able to run down.

Book Description
Indian Runner ducks boast one of the most distinctive body styles in the entire duck world. Members of this breed actually look a lot more like penguins or feathered bowling pins at first glance than either domesticated or wild ducks. But, unlike penguins, they do not waddle and can actually run rather quickly. When Indian Runner ducks were first imported to the United States they were often referred to as "Penguin Ducks." Ducks of this breed are raised almost exclusively for their egg and not their meat production. Like most domesticated duck breeds the Indian Runner duck cannot fly. This is a complete and easy-to-read resource for anyone passionate about keeping Indian Runner Ducks as pets. In an easy-to-read fashion this book will answer all your questions, including those you never knew you had.

Book Description
Excerpt from Natural and Artificial Indian Runner Duck Culture It is only during the last few years that the value of the Indian Runner Duck has awakened the poultry inter ests to their real value as a layer of large, green and white eggs of much' value. Their meat is one of the best for stewing, bro'iling, and roasting. Of late our physicians recognized them to be the most palatable meats, wholesome and nutritious, of all our flesh diets. Duck culture now assumes a most important part in the poultry business. The reason is very plain; people are just realizing that ducks can be raised better than chickens, with less 1055, half the labor, will mature in eight or ten weeks ready for market, and ready for lay ing from four and one-half or six months, depending on the feeding and care the attendant gives them. Again we say there is no strain of poultry or ducks that will yield as many eggs as the Indian Runner Duck will if proper care is taken. They take less care and less feed than any other strain. Our markets are just learning the difference between the Indian Runner Ducks and all other strains. The Runner produces just enough fat to broil nicely and sweetly where other kinds are overfat, have a greasy taste, and the unfortunate housewife turns about three to four pounds into the waste bucket when the price, conside'red low, is twenty cents a pound, but when put in the waste bucket it means from sixty to eighty cents.
