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.

All the little black tailed whites and 1 white of my first hatch with some younger standard EE

BTW hen and the trio I kept:

An odd chick that resulted from some of the BTW I culled for obvious reasons.

Shortly before he died to a dog attack after safely getting all his hens in to the coop:

Telling the big roo off his hens:

The one in front is Kimi a little btb.

Unfortunately Dameru and Kimi's only son has a very bad tail that I'm thinking is genetic. The 2 btw roos I kept were also killed in the same attack without producing any offspring. My jap project has been scrapped until I get new better quality birds, I'm thinking mottled, and the hens along with my excess seramas roos are adding their genetics to the bantam EE flock to make even smaller blue layers.

Beautiful birds! I've always loved the look of the black tailed white Japanese.

Currently chicken-less, hoping to get a fresh start soon.
My wish-list: Old English Game Bantams, American Game, D'uccles, Japanese Bantams, Bantam Cornish, Large Fowl Cornish, Lakenvelders, Welsummers, Kraienkoppen, Andalusians, Speckled Sussex, Cubalaya, Sumatra, Easter Egger (large and bantam), Orpingtons, Iowa Blue, Marans...I think I'm going to need a lot of pens!

Cold weather and possibly ice moving in, I went out and wrapped all the cages and plugged the lamps back in. Don't want any frost bite on those combs!
