Thread Starter 

Hello.  Finalled joined BYC.  have enjoyed all the information, and thought I would finally join. 

 

My girlfriend and I have a small flock of various chickens.  Still not sure on some of them, I may ask for help identifying some of them as we ordered a "variety" from MMM.  I also have 5 mallard ducks, all female. I just ordered 50 meat birds too.

 

I wish I had been raising chickens/fowl all my life, it is so fun and what a way to tech your children about where your food comes from.

 

I really look forward to getting to know folks, and trading photos and even some chickens!

Home of the world's cutest dachshund, one crazy blue heeler, two cats,
