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.

How cold can a fully feathered out cornish x rock get? It's been in the high 20's to low 50's here recently, is that to cold for them?

They are a little over a week now, I know that's too young to go out yet but I was just wondering when that time comes in a few more weeks if it will be warm enough.

Maybe once they are around 4 to 5 weeks but I would put a heat lamp near just to make sure.

I would also have a heat lamp on them. It is better to be safe than sorry. They can move away from the heat if needed but if they get cold, problems can set in and you would hate to loose good meat.
