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.

First duckling to hatch for the year (sold other 3 hatched with him. Keeping him.

Most of my adult ducks - 15/16.

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.

Rescued Rouen duckling with angel wing and her rescued Brahma coopmates.

A few of my flock where part of the garden is now.

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.

Our garden 1025sqft. and coops/pen 2,225sqft. and an additional coop/pen that's 520sqft. In the non-garden season they have a combined 3,570sqft. with 5 coops.
