    Run IN the water?

    So we have a stream that runs through our backyard. We might eventually get a drake and a rooster, so I'm thinking it might be best to house the ducks and chickens separate.

    Hi from NH!

    Hi there! My husband and I recently purchased our first home and are ready to get into planning for chickens! In pretty much ever Google search I've entered with chicken questions, this forum came up so I figured I might as well officially join. We're in the very preliminary stages of...
