Hi! I'm Shannon, and I primarily have questions pertaining to the rearing of ducklings.

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I am BRAND new to this! I'm at a roughly 5 acre rural property that contains a ~1/3 acre pond. We're hoping to raise some mallard ducklings to live on the pond, but I want to make sure I do it right!

(2) How many chickens do you have right now?

Our flock will be relatively small, probably six or eight birds.

(3) What breeds do you have?

None yet -- hoping to get mallards.

(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?

I've personally been eager to raise chickens, but right now, the ducklings make a lot more sense!

(5) What are some of your other hobbies?

I enjoy a lot of other outdoor stuff -- gardening and hiking in particular.

(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.

I manage the estate where I plan to have the ducklings. Personally, Allergies and schedules make it difficult for us to have a lot of pets at home, but we do have a LOT of fish (spread throughout an outdoor koi pond and five aquariums).

(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community? :D

BYC seems like an excellent community full of helpful people! I just discovered it via Google.
