We should here give brief attention to at least two varieties—the Pekin and the Indian Runner, which are now the favorites. The Pekin duck was first brought here from China in 1873.

With Pekins there is an additional profit to consider in the feathers, which are pure white and command nearly double price, especially as they are elastic and largely mixed with down. The Indian Runner meets the demand for a small carcass and good layers, ' especially winter laying, when most ducks shirk. Indian Runner flocks have high egg averages, as much as 180 to 190 eggs per duck. No wonder they are often compared to Leghorns as layers.

They weigh about five and one-half pounds for drakes, and ducks one pound lighter. There are three distinct varieties, the Fawn-and-White, Brown-and-White and White.
