They are good chickens for egg laying and for being food wise. But when holding them you'll have to be careful, my chickie pecks me in the eye and the mouth (she even ate food out of my mouth...

How sweet! They're very cute.

I have just one female black and white magpie call duck named Bunny. She's an indoor duck and my little baby. I'm considering the possibility of getting a second duck, if the right female, white, newly hatched call duckling comes along.

I love my Buff duck. She is very stately & lays 2 eggs about 3 times a week, and one egg all the other days.

She has a lot of personality, too. Have a blast. Ducks are a real joy to have around.

I have 2 wonderful sons, 3 ducks (2 Anconas & 1 Buff), 4 laying hens, a Holland Lop bunny, and a big scaredy cat. I am a Chef, Baker, Bluegrass "Musician" (I know, you can't do both) and artisan.
