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.

Did u wash the eggs before putting them in?? sometimes washing them wrong can let bacteria in. or if u didnt sanatize ur hands while handling them, or clean the bator before setting them. lots of things can cause blood rings.

No, I didn't wash them or rub them at all. I also wash my hands before handling them. I have read a lot, and feel like I kind of know what I am doing. We shall see I guess. If it doesn't work, we will just try again.

Aw, honey. I'm sorry.

I know it's discouraging. I had 18 in my bator and they were alive and kicking at lockdown. Only 4 have hatched. I'm leaving them... hope of hopes. But they'll go out tomorrow as they are becoming little bombs.
