    My mom says I'm giving them the childhood I always wanted. As a kid I wanted ALL the animals. And mom always said when I had a house of my own I could have as many as I wanted, but that as long as I was in hers she got to make the rules (which was totally her right). Our life is a little...

    Aww, Thanks. She is REALLY excited. Her little brother is slightly terrified of the ducklings - but is slowing starting to warm up to them. She has claimed one of the cayuga's as "hers."

    Awesome advice about the first aid kit. That is something we hadn't thought about - and will definitely prepare for. Our coop is a converted horse stall and has lots of ventilation. And we are definitely interested in the seed swap :)

    new to ducks and this website. very excited.

    Thanks! I've already gotten a lot of really useful information browsing the duck forums. I can't wait to be more involved. We are in the middle of a pretty big storm here. The feed store that is supposed to have my ducklings tomorrow is closed today (as are both my kids schools and just...

    (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I actually don't have chickens, but haven't found a "backyard ducks" site - so I am excited about the duck forum here. I am new to ducks, but should have 4 ducklings arriving tomorrow. (2) How many chickens do you have right...
