I work from home, so having chickens and ducks is great. I have 2 cats who get very concerned when the chicks squeak, but are ultimately scared of them lol. I also have a husky that just wants to be friends with them, but ia sad they do not want to be friends with him lol. I have a 6-almost 7- year old girl, and a 3 year old boy. I also have one on the way, and then of course my biggest child, AKA my husband lol.
