    Kittens with chickens... ?

    Not quite sure where to post this, but here goes. I have an established flock of laying hens, guineas, and Muscovey Ducks. They all free range in the afternoons about 3-4 hours. Well, the ducks are out all the time now as they refuse to be cooped anymore and rarely leave the pond. My husband...

    Finally they were still enough for pics, but they had to be bribed. So I am attempting to upload pics of the Whitings, one of the eggs we got yesterday and today 2/4, which I am giving the credit to the Dominiques and the RIRs. I'm also including a pic of the coop.

    Chickens, Guineas, and Ducks! Oh, my!

    I am fairly new to it all, but I dived in head first this May when I retired from my federal teaching job... two months before I decided to go back to work at the state level! I have a small flock of RIR, Easter Eggers, Dominiques, and Whiting True Blues (10 in all). Add to that the three...
