I've had chickens for about 9 months, ducks for 8 months, and Guinea fowl for 7 months. I got my first chickens in early July of 2020.
I have 4 Rhode Island Reds, 7 Golden Comets(they're still in the brooder), five Plymouth Rock, 1 Broaster Rooster(who I think is dying from Botulism), 1 Americauna, 10 Runner Ducks, 5 Muscovy(with a drake recovering from what I think is Botulism), and 7 Guinea Fowl. I think that's the full list.
The eggs for most of them. I like building coops. The muscovy drake was handed off to us by the family, so we added four muscovy hens to keep him company but he likes people more. The Guinea are just to eat ticks. I hate ticks.
I'm starting to like carpentry a lot. I like coming up with ways of making tending the poultry more efficient, but ducks are little forces of chaos.
Three dogs, six rabbits, a step daughter, and a wife. 7 acres, half a pond, a pasture that needs a lot of fencing work, and hopefully some milk cows at some point.
This forum comes up a lot when I'm searching for answers to questions I have on DuckDuckGo! A whole lot! Like nearly every time.
