<3 omg its so cute!! nope i don't have any really small ones! awee i wish i did now though :p so adorable. So I'm searching online, and I figured for 55 chickens i would need approximately 270 sq ft of space giving them 5 sqft of space in the coop. Which would be around a 16x18 building...
Awe mine got along so well for the first few days and then i noticed the duck grabbing the chickens wing feathers i was like noooo dont do that, I've never had ducks before so i was like whatttt
haha yeah it is, i just kinda thought in my head how big it was, its dark and coyotes so i didnt wanna go out on my own :p so i talked hubby into going out when i told him he's like no way in heck is it that small :P He's talking about leaving that one for the ducks and getting a shed/prebuilt...

I have 51 Chickens, 2 rouen ducks, and 2 turkeys :)
I have a bunch that I have never had before so I'm not sure on the breeds just yet.
I ordered a cackle surprise box, 56 total arrived healthy but lost one last week. Theyre 2 weeks old as of today. Came with 2 ducks anyways i'm keeping them together I've heard mixed reactions if i should keep them together or seperate, when i had them seperated they just made noise all day and...
