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.

I don't know if this is common or even desireable but I hatched a couple of chicks this week with feathering on all five toes. This splash chick is two days old. It has so much feathering on the double toes you can hardly see them. Anyway I would appreciate feedback on this. Good or bad? Sorry about the blurry one but I couldn't get a picture that really does it justice.
