We just bought our first batch of chickens back in April. We had bought 21, birds total, and only lost one. The poor baby had poo blocked on her behind and it actually got so bad she ended up blowing a hole in her side. I had tried to clean her up with warm compresses and gently rubbing her behind, since she still seemed to want to live, but we finally laid her to rest after days of fighting. We had to re-home two of our roos and a duck that were aggressive. We now have a total of 17 birds, 5 ducks, and 12 chickens. Let me try to remember all the breeds.....We have 1 light Brahma named Madi and 3 buff Brahmas named Coffee, Mocha,and Maple (the guy at the store mixed up when we wanted 2 of each, We have 2 Rhode island reds (my only roo is a rhode island red) they are named Linda and Houdini and we have 2 Orpingtons, named Honey and Mango, along with 4 golden laced Wyandottes named Chip, Moose, Karen, and Chicken Little. As for our ducks, we have two Pekins, Munchkin and Cletus, two Cayugas, Gus and Spice, and one Indian runner Pickles. We wanted two of each breed of ducks but there was only one Indian runner left at the store and we didnt want him to get lonely. I think I got them all lol so theres our flock!
