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.

Are you positive it is a legbar? You'll have better luck in What breed or gender is this?

The Old Cotswold Legbar is a Hybird made with Cream Legbars cross with other chicken breeds. If you have a cotswold, then I don't know that you will be able to determine the gender untill the combs grow out which could be 4-5 weeks of age.

If these are pure Cream Legbars, then the chipmonk stripped chicks are females, and the ligher color chicks with the large white spot on their heads are males.
