1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I've had ducks for 2 years with really great luck. I'm fairly new to chickens but ducks are getting me addicted to raising birds.

(2) How many chickens do you have right now? Ducks - 5600. Chickens - 0. Just starting.

(3) What breeds do you have? 3 breeds of duck. Contemplating American Bresse but needing some detailed information on cold tolerance. Also considering Buff Orpington and the Beijin You.

(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens? Generally I love raising birds as they all have their own bit of personality and style.

(5) What are some of your other hobbies? Permaculture, I'm building an orchard.

(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share. 2 Giant Schnauzers, 5 kids, and was a Director of IT; now I'm just a duck farmer.

(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community? Google.

Welcome to our community!
I'll post some photos soon. Started my flock with 56 Jumbo Pekins and 64 Muscovy in a 30x40 Pole barn. I learned a lot in those first couple months with them. Now it's 4 40x100 pole barns full of them. Now looking to add a few goats, chickens, and maybe a couple pigs on my hobby farm. I think that's as far as my wife will allow me to go :)
