(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
- I raised chickens and ducks when I was younger, living with my parents. I've head ducks several years on my own, but this is the first year I've had chickens at my own house.
- I have 3 chicks and 2 ducks
- I have 2 Lavendar Orpingtons and 1 Blue Rock chick; the ducks are Welsh Harlequins
- I love watching them grow and developing their own personalities. I love to be outside, so they help keep me entertained (and help with the bugs).
- I enjoy going to the lake, working in my garden, doing yard work, anything to get me outside really!
- I grew up on a small hobby farm and plan to eventually have one of my own (starting with the birds). My plan is to have cattle and goats one day as well. I am a nurse and also have two cats and a pitbul that also keep me company. The cats and the dog love having birds around as well.
- I found it through Pinterest I believe and have encountered several articles on a FB page for ducks and chicks. I decided to finally join because I figured this could be helpful for me and my new babies.
