This is primarily for the person from out of state who tried to contact me on Saturday, June 13, 2009.  The girl you spoke to did pass on your contact information to my answering machine, but we had a power outage before I had a chance to take it off the machine and write it down.  Sorry! 

I would have called you back today to tell you personally that I don't have any runners for sale.  I sold all but 3 over a year ago.  All I have left are my husband's favorite line of older hens - Double Spot who is now 8, her daughter Bandit who is now 6 and Bandit's daughter Penny who is now 3.  Not a drake in sight! 

I am actually switching to geese and so do not intend to raise any more ducks of any kind.  The new gander I got over this past winter for the goose who was raising ducks for me won't raise ducklings.  He tries to kill them.  So I'm going all goose. 

Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.  I had totally forgotten that I had anything on this page indicating that I might have birds for sale by now.  All my birds decided to dance to the beat of their own drums this year and have forced me to change everything I was going to try to do.  And it has been a busy year because of all the unexpected changes to my plans.

I wish anyone wanting runners all the best.  They are indeed a fun breed to have around.  And anyone wanting to see all the color possibilities would be well served to order the Deluxe Runner Assortment from Holderreads.  Even Holderreads breeder quality birds stand taller and slimmer than anything I've seen from any other day-old mailorder source.  Let the various colors intermate and see what new colors pop up!
