How is your flock today?

Oh its a mix bunch. 7 hens and 2 roosters. 3 Seramas (that is including one of the roosters), one of each of the following: Cuckoo Maran, Quailantwerp Bantam, Braham Bantam, Blue Cochin Brantam/English Orpington, Olive Egger, and Cuckoo Maran/English Orpington (other rooster). I plan on hatching again from this year. If any of my hens turns broody I'll let them do the work. Yet even then I'll probably use an incubator to get the numbers I would like. What kind of breed do you have?
I have 2 Lakeshore Egger hen's, an Aloha hen, a couple of mixed breed Naked Neck girl's, and another fully feather necked mixed breed. I also have a Colored Dorking rooster. I'm trying to rehome those all though, because I want to go with just working with one single breed now, and that will be the Bielefelder's. I hatched 5 Bielefelder pullet's from shipped egg's back in November, and have more of those shipped Bielefelder hatching egg's in my incubator right now with a due to hatch date of Jan. 17th. I hope there's a boy in this batch.
 
But where are all of those new baby duck's that you just hatched?
They're indoors, in the bird room (formerly known as the master bathroom), with 8 caged budgies. The ducklings are now in a big Rubbermaid tub, which these chicks just departed from. In a week or so they'll have the whole floor, including the "splash zone" shower enclosure.

That is some love and commitment. ♡
 
Thankies! Love, commitment, and also a room that already badly needed new floor cover, wall paint, and shower door repair anyway, so I figured why not?
Those duckling's that I hatched from the sent egg's from @Smiles-N-Sunshine are already trying to swim in their water bowl.

Here are my hatchlings, all fluffed up and figuring out the food and water.
