I like everything about it except how it looks right now. I know it lays decently. It is a great part of my great waterfowl flock.

First, watching a runner duck run is awesome. They can find their own food. They aren't like pekins in water. Mine haven't started laying but I heard their decent.

Its not as fat and slow as a pekin, but its not frail either. I want a mallard but I don't want a flying bird. The rouen is great for that.

They are my calmest birds and are easiest to catch. They eat less than Pekins. I heard they also lay well, but mine are younger.

2 new babies. One is for sure a girl, but the one that is standing up, I'm not positive on. My boys had brighter white chests than it does. Time will tell.

Having an Icelandic in the coop is like having a 2 year old in the house - they are into everything and don't follow the rules.

I have zero chicken willpower.

Very cute little chicks. I would guess the one standing up is a boy too, but they do sometimes fool you:)

So, my blue pullets from the Jan 1st hatch are starting one of their juvenile moults. They are showing some really nice lacing for such young birds:) I wish I could get a better picture, but it's been raining for days and I only had time to grab one and snap a quick pic in between showers, LOL. It's neat to see their "big girl" feathers and more "true colors" starting to show underneath their "baby" feathers. This girl is darker blue too:)

I'm so happy, my barnies from Christina Ledford started laying this week. I nice golden brown egg! The hens are lacing nicely, but don't even have their full combs yet. Next sunny day I'm going to have to take some pics!
