Hey all...nweish here

[Gigi Shannon]

Hello all. Decided to get chickens last year...hubby says it's worth the eggs. I have a mix of chickens, some bantam, that we started with last year. The 2 frizzles ended up being a frizzle and a frazzle thought it was sick n dying...but just a defect and I love him). One was a Peking duck. He thinks he is one of the roosters. He is 2nd in command, with 3 roosters under him. And yes, he tries to mate with the girls. Last month we added 7 more mixed ducks and a few more hens, with a guinea hen and 2 turkeys. On top of the 4 dogs and a cat.lol I love my baby farm!

Welcome to BYC. I'm sure you know, but a drake can kill a chicken hen by mating them. Their anatomy is different.

Thanks for joining us. I agree with @janiedoe about drakes mixing it up with the chickens, definitely something to be aware of.

I love the picture of the dogs with the babies. Your great pyrenees has marking similar to mine! She has some newfie in her so she isn't quite as fluffy.

Welcome to BackYard Chickens! You have a very lovely flock. That Frizzle rooster is beautiful!! I do suggest you separate your Pekin from your hens because he could accidentally hurt them. (Also be careful with him around the Guinea too, because he'll attempt to mount her too.) Thank you for introducing yourself and sharing some pictures of your lovely birds!
