Hello! I am Alison. I live in NH. About 6 weeks ago, I purchased 8 production reds, 2 RIR, and 2 ....hmmm white chickens that are "interesting" ( I will be posting a question about those two...) plus 2 pekin ducks and 2 Swedish blues.

My husband built a kick-a** chicken house and run for them and we have a small pond that the ducks have already taking quite a liking to.

I have SO MANY questions, so I think I have some to the right place! This is definitely a plethora of chicken info and I am very thankful you guys exist!

Thanks!
Alison
 
Hi :welcome Alison

Glad you could join the flock! That's a great selection you have started out with there, a lovely mix.
If you are unsure of your "White ones" you could post some pics in the what breed gender section of the forum. Here is the link ~ https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/15/what-breed-or-gender-is-this

Also have you dropped by the duck section? Lots of duck keepers there who can help you with all your duck questions. ~ https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/42/ducks

Be sure to ask any questions that you have, everyone here to help and very friendly.

Enjoy BYC :frow
 
Nice to meet you Allison, glad your joined the BYC flock. Am I reading between the lines, when you say you have whites that are "interesting", I'm wondering if you are yet another people who was sold Cornish x meat birds instead of layer breeds.

Welcome to BYC, Allison! Please make yourself at home and we are here to help.

Congrats on the well built coop. Good luck with your lovely flock! Definitely check out the breed and gender link provided by Yorkshire Coop. ^ Our learning center is full of helpful info you may enjoy checking out. It also has a other poultry section where there is info on ducks. https://www.backyardchickens.com/atype/1/Learning_Center
