This has been extremely helpful, Darlingoo, can't wait to see your pics. Sorry about your problems with Bird Flu, I put off ordering more chickens a few years ago as it was going around Northern US at some turkey farms, but they did massive quarantines and (sadly) destroyed thousands of turkeys, but the effort worked and the flu did not spread down to the southern states. Bird flu is such a bummer.
On the lighter side, I am trying to figure out a routine for my anticipated waterfowl flocks, I think I will fence off a part of my center pasture and reserve it for them. Already has a run-in shed so closing it in for nesting and night security will be easy. Has a water source nearby. I notice all my animals really appreciate a schedule and they expect me to stick to it. If I'm running late (happens occasionally) they let me know. My lead mare even gets huffy about it.
