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 just got a goose given to me that has a bad leg very similar to what you described. I have been doing just about the same things for my new girl. Aspirin, gentle stretches, soaking, massage and limiting movement, etc. My Mrs.Goose is already looking better but still has along way to go. She is in less pain but still won't put any weight on it. I am glad to hear your bird is doing better. It gives me hope.
