thanks I have a pretty big backyard. so I had ducks in the past and still have some. I think I'm going to get 7 buff orps and 3 unsexed astrolops hoping one of them to be a male. Lmk if this is a good idea

I'm looking for both egg and meat. I keep ducks and my neighbors have not complained I need a breed that is simmilar to duck noise. Although if the chickens do get too loud I could put a rooster collar on them

Im thinking of getting 10 chickens and dont know which breed to get. I posted another thread on this and people said get bantams. I researched online and saw mixed reviews of Buff Orpingtons some say they are loud and some say they are not. People say bantams aren't good for meat or eggs but are...
