Thanks, mjh! I have 2 red sex links, 2 black sex links and 2 mixed silkies. I've actually posted on the What Breed? board and one of the mixed silkies is probably a polish cross, still not sure on the other one. They're an entertaining group of girls!

Great post, I've been looking for ideas as well. We've just moved our ducks to their pen/run and I'm looking for feeder ideas that won't let the ducks drop too much food everywhere and attract rodents. I saw this idea on Pinterest that seemed like it would help contain the food with the added...

They look great! Aren't they fun to watch?

Welcome, Maria! I just joined too and am in Guilford!

Thanks, BantamFan!

Thanks QueenMisha and Sumi! I'm excited to be here! NatureChica - I posted pics of the chicks in the What Breed forum and 2 of them are actually black sex links that were probably put back in the wrong bin. Your finger crossing is working so far! And usually I've got the same luck us you, for...

It probably doesn't help that I'm just guessing at half of their genetics either. Oh well, part of the fun has been the surprise!:D

Thanks drumstick and nature! Posting my (hopefully) girls in the breed forum is my next step. Their grown up feathers are mostly in now so hopefully I'll have some good enough members that a few of the experts on this site can figure out!

Greensboro/Summerfield here!

Hi, all! I'm new to chickens, ducks and BYC. My husband and I got 6 chicks and 4 ducks in April and we've loved watching them grow. They're so much fun to watch and I'm really enjoying they're personalities as they develop, although I do look forward to figuring out who the boys and girls are...
