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.

Hi! I'm in NE Minneapolis and really hoping to connect with folks in the urban core with backyard chickens. I keep thinking I should do this but wouldn't have a lot of help (or interest) from the other bi-peds in the house so need to find some support/advice/comraderie somewhere!

Just a reminder....

There is a poultry & small animal swap at the Brown County Fairgrounds in New Ulm this saturday (Mar. 31st). Its just a block off highway 14 on the west side of town and directly across from Runnings Fleet & Farm. $3 admission for anyone over 16 through the gates. Doors open at 7 am and people are usually all going home by 9 am. If you are bringing birds to sell, be prepared to show blood testing paperwork or pay to have your birds tested before you enter. If you are coming to buy, bring plenty of carriers, boxes, etc. If the weather is nice, people set up outside on the fairgrounds. If its cold or rainy, there is a huge heated coliseum to go into. Bathrooms and food vendor inside the building. A~

If anyone has Facebook, there is a group called Minnesota Exotic Bird & Small Animal Swaps. I have a pretty complete list of most (if not all) the swaps in MN, IA, and WI on there. I do update it as people send me more listings. We also have people that post for the small bird fairs and rabbit shows too.
