I've read that they will eat hay and I've dried quite a bit of the grass clippings I get from the neighbor. I purposely inoculated my property with purslane for the chickies and they love the stuff. It grows like the weed it is. I figure its really good for them especially now since it is flowering and the flower/seeds and pollen cant help but make it more nutricious for them Can it be dried for them for winter?

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.
