Hiyas! I am new to the forum and kinda new to the whole chicken thing. We have had chickens for a couple of years now but I haven't really been interested in them. My father in law had bought them for us and all I really did was feed and gather eggs. Well I am now more interested in them since my best friend and I just split an assortment of chicks. Waiting to find out what they all are! I started with 13 yesterday but lost one overnight. Not sure what happened :(. We ordered the Rainbow Layer assortment from McMurray Hatchery. I will take pics and post them on my profile later of what we have. I am really starting to look forward to having more chickens. Now I just have to convince hubby to help me expand the coop!

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.
