STEEPLE DUCKS

WELCOME

Trout Indian Runner drake

Welcome to Steeple Ducks. I keep and breed Indian Runner ducks in trout, blue trout and apricot trout colours. I also breed the critically rare Pilgrim geese and Rhodebar poultry.

The birds are free to range, with protection from electric netting, in a grass paddock on the Mendip Hills near Frome. With them are a mixed flock of mainly pure breed hens that lay a varied colour selection of eggs.

This website has been designed and set up by me. It's amazing I have managed it. Photos are taken with a Canon IXUS 800IS 6.0 megapixels digital camera with a zoom lens 4x on automatic. I take many photos and keep the ones with the best content, quality is due to the camera.

For information on ducks, breeds, rearing and keeping I have listed some books that I find useful on the contacts page. If you have any constructive feedback you think would improve it let me know.

Even elegant runners have

an ugly duckling stage...

... but look a little tidier on their feet, but down is still sprouting out of the back of their heads
