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.

Hopefully.....

Candled the eggs and it "appears" that we may have 14 out of 18 developing at this point. We'll see next Sunday....

Hatchery chicks arrive May 15th-ish.

I am getting an Easter Egger, California White, and a Silver Lace Wyandotte. My husband and I are planning on taking any weaker chicks since I can take the time to baby them and another person might not be able to.

Also great job on the fence wsmith, it looks professionally done.

Wow, Thanks!

In addition to the Dominiques from the hatchery and eggs in the incubastor, we are getting some easter eggers that will live with us, but will actually be for some friends.

Wyandottes are nice.
