So being as its the beginning of the year I feel its a good time to start a running thread of my birds. What started as 3 chicks became 4 hens which quickly turned into 5. Not long after we acquired 4 ducks and 2 more hens. And i will be getting my first roo in two days. Gotta love chicken math. Between two separate garden sites, a restaurant supplied compost pile, hand dug pond and ambitious plans for the future involving new poultry,livestock and structures I'll be fairly busy. BYC has been by far the best resource and I look forward to sharing my experiences.
a few of the girls getting a warm snack on a cold day. Been frozen here the last few mornings and my ducks certainly don't like their pond being frozen. Still end up getting in it after I break the ice tho. Crazy mallards.
this was from a few days before the cold snap. If you've made it this far thanks for taking an interest, there will certainly be more to come. Wish all you fellow byc'rs a great new year. Attimus
