Not a pretty morning at our house. I sent my 11 year old to feed scraps and collect eggs and he came back pretty upset. All but one were headless! One seems to have tried to escape, but didn't. All of the heads were gone! Really awful. My son heard sounds and he said it sounded like horse outside his window. We are on a rural mountain so it could have been anything but the heads only might be a clue.

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.
