Runers are a laying breed. They are going to produce more eggs than a Cayuga.

Most likely the Cayuga will lay soon. Ours always laid later than the Anconas!

How are Cayugas as egg layers?

 

 

And what is the temperment of the breed?

My Cayuga lays an egg every day. She's kind of rude... doesn't like people in "her" yard and likes to honk when I get too close to her. But she's so cute. That's her in my avatar.
 

Also, I should add that she's an excellent bug/mosquito eater.

My Cayuga ducklings are much more laid back than my WH ducklings.  They are also more timid.
