Reviews by Albert the Saxony

Great foragers and layers, but a bit too nervous and scared.
Pros: Great laying, excellent foraging and easier to raise.
Cons: Predators, nervousness and meat purposes.
I’ve raised runners for a few years now and have had fairly good luck with this breed. The are little nervous nellies, but it can still be easy enough to move them around since they herd together, like sheep. I have had a few go broody and hatch out ducklings every now and then, although its only about one in every 8 that will successfully do it. Excellent garden pest control, but again just a little to skittish. As seen in the pic, I actually had one hatch a ”Chuck”. Ha

Thanks CaliFarms! What birds do you keep? Right now I have Runners and I’m about to be shipped Saxony and Khaki ducks from Metzer Farms. In the future, I would absolutely love to have wood duck like the duck on your avatar.
