first year at getting chickens!!

[ShiCkns16]

Hello Everyone!

this will be my first year having chickens and I'm looking forward to it! I'm slowly getting prepared and will order my chickens a few weeks from our local Bomgaars. When I was younger we had two ducks and so I'm also looking into getting a few ducks also!! I can't wait to see what raising chickens is all about!

so glad you have joined us and congratulations on deciding to get your own flock.

I have no experience with ducks, but am certain you will fall in love with your chickens.

Good luck with your planning.

Chickens aren't as messy as ducks with their "droppings," and don't care to splash around and be wet all the time. I think they'll do fine for you. For those reasons however, they do not do well sharing a brooder with ducklings
