Flock party! Anyone else just want to share pictures of their chickens?(my chick is currently having a dust bath on me)

Lots of photos of my, umm our ever expanding mixed flock. When they're babies my boyfriend is constantly checking on them if raised in the house, afterwards I'm 99% caregiver. I currently have 4 guineas, 21 ducks (1 day - 4 years) and 78 chickens (including 7 roosters that I know of). About 1/3 of the chickens are under 12 weeks so I won't know how many of the sexed "pullets" and 9 straight run are actually roosters. My suspicion is that I have 8 - 15 cockerels :( amongst them. 2 of my male guineas and 3 khaki Campbell drakes are all bound for a friend of my adult sons home. They want them for bug control.

Our newest 4 ducklings hatched between 7/12 & 13/21, first time incubator hatch for us.

Newest chicks (all are supposed pullets- right), white chick was a natural hatch but the hen attacked it so he's got roommates I had bought prior. Hen was incubating duck eggs but another hen snuck one in on my - Cuckoo Maran was sitting.

These were all supposed to be pullets but I see several cockerels already at 4-6 weeks of age. Especially the dark Brahma in front.

This sweet little girl was nearly crushed to death in a freak accident while away for the day. A board secured with stakes somehow was dislodged and was found atop of her at 3 months old. She had a fractured hip but managed to heal and is normal at 7 months, hopefully she'll be laying soon (all my Brahmas didn't lay til 9 months).

My gorgeous but sometimes aggressive over eggs boy - 1 of 3 roosters in with guineas.

Guineas (3 m, 1 f) with one of the chickens they're housed with (now in very back coop). There's 3 roosters and 5 hens with them, typically they all get along and the 6 females all lay their eggs in one nest (guinea and hen sometimes sharing at one time).

Last winter a few ventured out to see what I had and their guard dogs had to check on things too.
