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.

Rouen

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.

Not gonna happen here! Now on the other hand, My type A personality daughter and SIL for whom everything must be 'proper' allow their dogs to do so. I eat on paper plates at their home. Dogs are able to reach too many of their body parts with their tongues in addition to the extraneous crap they will eat. No, I don't let my dogs kiss me either.

All dishes go in the dish washer so what the hey...

It could happen. Just remember, Pluto used to be a planet.

And when things go wrong, always remember, even geese cheat sometimes.

Wait, I'm confused! I thought that was one of the reasons for having a dog, to do the pre-wash! Heck, most of the time my lab mix gets the plates so clean that they can go right back to the cabinet!!!

Sour, Bingo shreds the paper plates and then I've got to clean that mess up. It's much easier to use real plates!

Of course they do! Dishes are much easier to clean in hot soapy water once the dogs are through AND it makes the dogs so happy.
