I'm Zac from Burnet, TX. I am really enjoying is site. I got started a little over a year ago reading both books (Chickens for Dummies and Chicken Coops for Dummies). I build the walk-in. Since then I have build two hoop coops and have started incubating eggs. I am having tons of fun. We have mostly Black Astralop and Americana Chickens. We also have some ducks.

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.
