Hello from California!

[tonzofanimals]

Hi, I'm Mindi. In all I've had 5 hens and a roo but now I've got an Ameraucana and a Jersey Giant, they are a year this month. Last week my sister brought two more birds to add to my flock, DUCKS. I believe they are American pekins, maybe a few weeks old. I know it's early to tell but due to their body language and whatnot I'm beginning to think one might be male, and one female. I'm new to being a duck mom so any information you have for me would be great! Thanks.
