Hi I am new here. I have three newly acquired ducks. Two Runners, Boris and Aimee and a Muscovy, Otilia. I have been reading for a while but decided to sign up rather than just lurk. celebrate.gif Cate

I have - 4 children, 1 bearded dragon, 4 hermit crabs, 2 cats (both mixed breeds and both rescues), 3 dogs (1 whippet rescue, 1 whippet ex show and 1 beagle ex show), 4 ducks (1 Runner drake, 2 Runner ducks and 1 Muscovy duck), 12 baby chicks (mixed breeds), 3 bantam silkie crosses, 2 Australorp crosses and 2 mixed breed layer chooks. I love all animals.

Hi and welcome from the Adelaide Hills! It's good to have you.

 

My sister just joined (like about fifteen minutes ago) - she's really into ducks, too.

 

Anyway, I'll just direct you to the two Australian threads in case you're interested:

http://www.backyardchickens.com/t/598568/australia-six-states-and-that-funny-little-island

 

It's great to have you on here,

from Rachel.

Living with six chickens, three cats, two goldfish, two goats, two steer, one schipperke, one adorable son, and one wonderful husband - and did I mention the six chickens?

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?
