Hey all!! Thanks for allowing me into your awesome community. I'm new to poultry having started about 6 months ago with 2 huge old poultry farm chickens , Tyson/Simmons style, that were given to me as a gift and I was hooked. From there I started going to the local sale barn and bought a grown trio of buff laced polish and a trio of some welsummer bantam hens and a cross bantam roo. Oh and a poor little frizzle hen that had her feathers picked off. I am now hatching polish like crazy, 3 today actually, and I have hatched 2 frizzle/ bantam roo chicks that are quite a handful... Then I moved on to ducklings. Started with 10, down to 7 now. 4 mallards, a pekin (named aflac, of course), a magpie, and a khaki Campbell.They are almost completely feathered now. Anywho. I found y'all via Google and again, I was hooked. So here I am...
