Hi everyone!
I have been into chickens for about 2 years now. I also just raised my first batch of ducks this spring.
About a month ago, my neighbor's dogs got into my coop/run at night and killed 14 of my chickens and all 7 of my ducks (who had just started laying) :-( I was absolutely devastated!
That left me with 1 rooster (rhode island red) and 3 hens (1 rhode island red and 2 brown leghorns). I also had 8 chicks who are now close to 3 months months old, but they were in a different area (luckily!).
I now have an additional 8 chicks who are 6 weeks old and just this past weekend I added 4x 5 month old Buff Orpingtons (well I think 1 may be a rooster), 2x 6 month old red sex links, and 2x 6 month old barred rocks.
That's it about me! I look forward to learning more!
