Indian Runners are rather small ducks, with drakes weighing under five pounds and ducks weighing less than 4.5 pounds. They are sometimes called the "Bowling-Pin Duck" because of their unique upright posture that some people say resembles a wine bottle. Indian Runners have very long, narrow necks. While most noted for their upright posture, they generally only stand upright when disturbed or running. Indian Runners appear in a variety of colors. The most common shade is the original fawn and white animal, although other possibilities are white, black, brown, blue, gray, trout, buff and silver gray.
