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.

I don't know ANYTHING about ducks but can't you just hold it upside down and see iff it will drain the water? I know if a kid starts drowning and you have them breathing again you bend them over to throw it up.

thanks a lot for the support. she seems to move her head around a bit, (which is acitivty, any activity is good) but still can't stand.

i think if we try hard she'll make it.

Sounds like she was in the water too long and got water logged. Dry her as good as you can and put her under heat lamp, not to close you don't want her getting to hot just enough to warm her up is her breathing any better?
