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.

Rouen

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.

There are too many breeds and varieties in the world to have them all... but its too hard just to choose a few.

Currently breeding Bantam Orpingtons, Anconas, White Faced Black Spanish, and RC Rhode Island Reds. Also have Buff, Blue Swedish and Runner ducks along with Chinese Geese.

Well. went into lock down with 111 fertile eggs yesterday at 5:00pm. The shell are too thick and dark for me to tell if there are any with red rings in them.... Soo I might have some of them in the bator... only time will tell. Our first baby (a blue) hatched this morning at 11:00am. 3 more pips all in the same bator... the other 2 bators are quiet :) I hope they rest a while ... don't need for them to hatch out too early :) It's youth day turkey season in the morning... soo we are going to hit the wood early hoping for Isaac to bag his first wild turkey :) Then back home to see how many chicks hatched and celebrate my daughter's 30th Birthday :) Lots to be thankful for :) I will be shipping chicks out on Monday if anyone is interested... please send me a PM.

thank you.
