My family and I have wanted chickens for a couple of years, but the area we previously lived in had ordinances that made it next to impossible to keep a flock. We just got our baby chicks five days ago. Three Buff Orphingtons, and three black Astralorps. Excited about our new adventure in owning chickens. This site is filled with great information has helped us to get off to a good start thanks.

Little chicks are a lot of fun and so interesting to watch grow up (and that happens fast).
Have fun!

Cute ducks!
The Learning Center has articles on ducks and the forum is a great place to ask questions about them:
