Thanks @Teila ! My last hen recently passed away so I am fresh out of chickens but happy knowing that they all lived to a ripe old age. I decided to wait a bit and get a fresh start to see how I can improve how I handle the next flock, but now I'm ready and excited for some new babies
Most of them lived for about 7ish years so for my first batch of chickens I thought it was a success. They are so endearing, I can't wait for more

Nice looking menagerie. Welcome to BYC. Ducks and chickens swap all the time, so I guess other species do too.New Chookpen and our house (taken with my new drone)

Whitey and her babies. The oldest one is feathered but not yet fleged Hi all..Im a newbie to BYC - just joined today! I live in Esperance WA and have a bit of a zoo going on! I have budgies - including 3 sitting on eggs and one that hatched 3 babies a fortnight ago. I also have a MASSIVE recently revamped chookpen, that is home to a Wyandotte rooster and hen, a turkey, a peacock, 3 Barneveld x rhode island reds, a lavender Belgian, an isa brown, 3 guinea fowl, 2 handraised Muscovy ducks, an Appleyard drake and his sister, and a pekin duck - oh and a pet sheep at the moment cause we're refencing her enclosure at the moment! There's a strange thing happening in my chookpen at the moment - my turkey is sitting on guinea fowl eggs. They were laid over the past fortnight and the guinea fowl hen was sitting on them, but she got off one day and he took over. Odd hey!
