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.

So I just had to share some pictures of my cross breed chickens. Specifically my Rooster (Dino) who is a EE X Standard Cochin. He is soo big! I can't believe how big he has gotten, and his colors are so bright. What do you guys think of his colors?

I know that my chicken aren't pure bred or anything special, but I sure as heck think that they are pretty.

This little lady is a buff Orpington X EE and she lays the prettiest green eggs.

This is the other Rooster that I kept (others went to the stew pot) and he is also a BO X EE I really love his puffy cheeks.

Edit: Umm I dont know what happened to my pictures!! this is my first time trying to post a new thread on the "new" forum. I thought that I had read through the "how to post pictures" but I guess I dont understand. I will try to figure it out. so sorry!!

Hello! I would love to see the pics of your chickens, but they're not there!

Can't wait to see them though, they sound beautiful!

You have beautiful birds. Who cares if they are "mutts."

Butternut squash is such a let down. No butter. No nuts. Just squash.
