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.

Here are some pictures of the silver penciled. They aren't the best pictures but still nice enough to get an idea. Foley said penciled breeds have barred feathers when they are young and after more maturity they will be penciled.

I agree the son does the bantams but Jerry said his son takes care of that by himself. He says he'll come into the barn and he will have gone through and picked all the best chickens. He doesn't help at all lol. The chicken husbandry and skills have definitely rubbed off on his kids :).

I posted previously about one of my GL pullets that I thoguht had a rather large comb for a girl. She's older now and almost at laying age and her comb has gotten bigger, but, it has stayed close to her head and not grown much farther back... just gotten wider I guess.

Does anyone think this is something that she would likely pass onto her chicks? I'm not sure what the standard says about a hen with a wide comb but it seems to me like it shouldn't be so wide.

Jerry (Foley) doesnt sell hatching eggs. He only sells chicks and started adults. He is NPIP certified also. Great man and family to deal with. IF you want chicks you better get on the waiting list also.
