Hello

[chickens305]

Grew up around chickens, but never owned any until about 2 months ago. Right now I have 10 that are 5 - 8 months old outside. Yesterday I built a new pen and moved 12 young ones outside. That leaves about 15 inside ranging from just hatched to about 4 weeks old. I also have 11 ducks outside that are about 2 months old and 2 inside in one of the bathtubs that are about 3 weeks old. I've found it's easier to clean. There are also 2 peacocks (1 blue and 1 pied 9 months old) and one 10 month old Bourdon Red turkey. I have several breeds of chickens. I love to sew but haven't found time to with the chicks.
