Good morning! We are just starting our first flock since childhood. I grew up with chickens and livestock but it's been 20 years since so this all feels new. I was planning on 10ish but we have 24 chicks ranging from 2.5 to 5 weeks old (and 5 ducklings). I had so much fun choosing my flock to try to balance both my egg basket as well as flock with good choices. I found tons of good advice on here beforehand so hopefully we've made some wise choices. Thanks and have a lovely day!
