hello all...my hubby and i have been talking for the last 2 yrs about getting chickens...for the eggs...then we found out guinea hens are better for those who garden...but today we picked up our first chicks...6 to start...and 6 ducklings also since they like to eat bugs too...hopefully this yr we will have far fewer ticks and i wont have to drown the bugs i hand pick from the garden...the chickens and ducks can gobble them away...any info anyone wants to tell me will be more than appreciated...we have no idea what kind of ducks we have...they came from tractor supply...same w/ the chicks...straight run/mixed reds...they are settled in for the night...will see what comes come morning:
