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

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.

Take a pic of it for proof to the man who sold it to you, then burn it, yes. Do that away from your houses and runs, and after words shower and wash everything. I know that sounds a bit over board but one can never be too safe.

See... argh! I feel the longer they stay on your property, the greater chance for contamination to your other stock. I'm not sure I'd continue to wait after today. I'd set a cull date. I know it sounds harsh, but I wouldn't risk my other birds.

Make sure you bleach all that stuff or throw it away. I think it is Coryza. I still cannot tell for sure. Is there a "dead" smell coming from them?
