    calling any one from missouri

    Drat, I wish I'd known that a few weeks ago! My coop is only big enough for 6 hens, so I will just have to hang in there and be patient.

    Chickens and Ducks????

    I got my two White Rock hens and my Kahki Campbell duck on the same day in July when they were all just bitty babies. They have lived together all their lives.
