Hello all! I was told this was a wonderful site for gathering info on chickens and ducks. Are there a lot of members with ducks or is all chickens? I recently added two ducklings to my family and am totally in love! I don't know much about them, but I'm learning daily. I became part of this community to get help from people who have been there, done that smile.png. I've got lots of questions but I figured I would say howdy first.

You came to the right place! A lot of us have chickens and a lot of us have both chickens and ducks. I have been scouring this site for all sorts of information. So far, all has been incredibly useful to my wife and I who are brand new chicken owners. Good Luck!

Hello and welcome from Ohio....so glad you joined us. There are lots of people on here with ducks. If you look under the forum tab at the top there is a selection for "other backyard poultry" where you can find ducks, geese and all sorts of other cute critters. Good luck to you with your new babies

Hi and welcome to BYC from northern Michigan frow.gif

Home of the world's cutest dachshund, one crazy blue heeler, two cats,
              one fat pony, and many (but not too many!) chickens

              Can anyone tell me, how many are too many chickens?
