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.

lmost bought three silkie cochin crosses, but got back to late and they were bought already, and now am drooling over these birds... how are they as brooders, layers, friendly pets, hardiness?

assorted bantam mixes.. pigeon types for now: "white dove release" racing homers, flying flights, flying birmingham rollers, parlor rollers, parlor tumblers, "coop tumblers", Chinease owls.

Looking to talk to others who enjoy our pigeon/dove hobby. Also looking to talk bantam chickens, especially black bantam true rosecombs i hope to have soon.
