I am new to this forum and to poultry. 
My family and I recently started our poultry journey in April with chicks and have since added ducklings and cortunix quail to the mix. We have focused on dual purpose heritage breeds.
We have black java, barred holland and light sussex chickens (24 total at the moment). Mostly buff, ancona and blue swedish ducks (there are a few rouen and a pekin in the mix) with a total of 26 currently. And 18 quail, but we hope to grow those numbers soon.
They have been a lot more fun than I expected! The ducks are so entertaining to watch play in water. The chickens are super friendly and we enjoy all the noises the quail make. We are also putting them to work (mowing grass, eating slugs, etc.)!
We have been able to enjoy the quail for both eggs and meat and look forward to getting there with the chickens and ducks.
My family and I live on about 20 acres in the Pacific Northwest. I hope to continue to add more animals to the mix but we currently have our hands full with all the poultry!
Looking forward to being a part of this community!
