EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1919, showcases a group of Runner Egg Ducks (Anas platyrhynchos domestica) wading in a tranquil pond. Runner ducks, also known as Indian Runner ducks or Ornamental Runner ducks, are a unique breed of domestic duck that originated in Asia. They are named for their distinctive upright posture and elongated bodies, which resemble a runner bean. The history of Runner ducks dates back to ancient China, where they were first domesticated over 2,000 years ago. These ducks were highly prized for their elegant appearance and excellent egg-laying abilities. They were often kept in ornamental ponds and gardens as a status symbol among the wealthy. In this photograph, we can see several Runner ducks swimming gracefully in the water, their bright orange bills and feet contrasting against the cool, blue water. The ducks are also shown in their natural habitat, surrounded by lush vegetation and trees, which adds to the serene and idyllic scene. The photograph also provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into a time when farming and agriculture were more labor-intensive and focused on self-sufficiency. Runner ducks were an essential part of rural life, providing both food and aesthetic pleasure. Their eggs were a valuable source of nutrition, and their meat was used for sustenance during lean times. Today, Runner ducks remain a popular choice among small-scale farmers and backyard poultry enthusiasts. They continue to be admired for their unique appearance and excellent egg-laying abilities, making them a beloved addition to many homesteads and gardens. This photograph serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of these fascinating birds.
