i am having different experience with runner ducks - mine werent touching a
thing except slugs until they wore the population down considerably - after
that they cleared my pole beans of any leaves as high as they could reach -
was still no problem, since they were already well grown. no other losses of
green stuff to runners. and friends tell me, that their taste for whatever
varies considerably with the individual - just as with dogs or bears...
