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.

Is the thinking still that she's an EE x Cochin cross or EE x Lt. Brahma cross?

It's very possible with those vulture hocks, the way the legs are feathered, and the bear/muffs that she could be a D'Uccle cross.

Interesting! That's the first time someone has mention that possibility. I just took a look at some photos of the D'Uccle's and you might be on to something....Her leg/foot feathers are very long that's for sure.
