Hi, Brian. They are pretty much regular ducks, that don't need really high fencing (like your Muscovies do). But it's simple enough to keep their wings clipped a little to prevent flying. Just clip one side so they are unbalanced and that should do the trick.

Hi Brian. I have runners, and have fenced 4 ft. high. They are fully feathered snd so far do not fly, but do get about a foot and a half off the ground with a good jump, and vigorious flapping. They have never gotten out.
