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.

Thanks again all for the warm welcome.

Monday I was able to get some photos of a red fox family currently residing under my neighbors shed, about 30 yards from my Yoke System chicken coop. There appeared to be at least five fox pups. I decided to work on adding some side skirts of wire off the run to better protect our chickens during the day. The photo shows a work in progress in that regard. :)

What are the funny graphic designs on the front of the coop? They look a little like the 'danger radiation' signs...

Hey canesisters,

Those "funny graphic designs" are actually adjustable vents to help keep your chickens cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Check out www.theeggyolk.com for more information.

P.S. Actually, we thought the same thing when we first designed this. You should see the yellow version of the coop with black vents. Spooky! But totally functional. Thanks for noticing!
