I wasn't sure I'd like them but have found them to be attractive and friendly so far. Hardy robust little birds.

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
Reviewed by marvun22

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.

I have 6 chickens in my outdoor flock and 4 chicks inside. 3 of the older hens I got from a farm there about 1 1/2 yrs. old. they are bsl's and they were missing a lot of feathers when I got them due to being low on the pescing order and roosters being rough. I have had them for a year and two of them are still missing back feathers. I don't see any fighting so I am wondering if they will ever grow back? One of them is starting to lose festhers under her wings. The rest of the flock seems fine no problems eating or laying. Could only one chicken have mites or could there be another problem?
