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.

Thanks! I am glad you had a good time! Next year will be even more awesome!

I know just enough that no one has gotten ( seriously ) injured.

I am guessing in the 70 range. Not great but not bad either. Maybe I could do something in between the farm fair and the cranberry festival? I am open. I will talk to the 4-Hers this week and see what the kiddos think about it. I will keep you all updated!

Hi. What kind of fertilizer would be safe to use on my yard? I let my two hens out to graze.

Hey boppa!
I need a bit more info from you? What are you wanting to fertilize? Your whole yard, a garden area? PM with some more info and the scale and I'll do some research and get right back to you!

Hi - I'm a few months late to this thread - is anyone still there? I would have attended your event in March, but I didn't know about it! I vote YES for another one!

I'm in Pemberton Borough and I have 2 bantam roo's and only 3 GSL's. I need to find a home for these guys - does anyone know of anyone who would trade roo's for hen's in my area? They are both 12 weeks old. Here's a picture, albiet blurry - you know how fast they move! The one on the left (Prince Charming) has been pulling my pullets tails and I'm afraid he will only get worse. His crowing is improving by the day though. The one on the right (Snow White - she was white when I got her) does blood curdling imitations of Prince Charming crowing, but does not show any aggressive behavior.
