I knew it was you that had Runners!

Are they fliers or no? I haven't looked into those, lol...
@Pensmaster do those ducks look kinda like these?
If my OH has his way, keep them all! lol...

We'll grow them out then evaluate them and sell some... got many around us that want Calls...

If they get really excited, they fly about three feet

They tend to stay in a tight group and run around. Some people out here use them for training herding dogs.
Or playing fetch....

I love weird names. My family can't ever remember what I name our baby lambs. Right now we have Carlin, Phobos, Deimos, and Gya, and last year was weirder yet lol, but they all mean something. Like if they were bottle baby's, or barely survived their name might mean survivor, believer, something like that. They all have a purpose.

I have a ewe who is named Persephone because she was born on the first day of spring and I had to assist the birthing process because the water had broke early and he mom was dry and couldn't push her out. So I pulled her from the underworld into the light. Persephone. Her mom was named Omega. Omega's twin brother was named Alpha. I have had a black ewe lamb and a twin ram lamb that I named Black Betty and Rambulamb (from a 70's rock song). One year it was all Shakespeare names. Another it was Greek.

Yes these are like the ones I've seen at neighbors. I don't know if the two of them are a pair or not.
