New duck parent checking in

[Mother_ducker]

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?

Completely new to raising poultry/waterfowl. My husband grew up around chickens and some of his family own a chicken farm though, so he’s better off than me.

(2) How many ducks do you have right now?

3


(3) What breeds do you have?
Ancona

(4) How did you find out about BackYardChickens.com?
Every time I google something I end up here. It seemed a wise choice.

(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
Photography, cycling

(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
I just moved to a farming town a few months ago, which is something I never thought I’d do in a million years. Having a blast though.

G'Day from down under Mother_ducker Welcome!

I hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun.

BYC has Topic of the Week discussions which I have found to be a great resource, informative and sometimes entertaining; so definitely worth checking out. There are some down the bottom of the page which are duck specific.

If you would like to share Pictures and Stories of your ducks, you have come to the right place. BYC’ers never tire of these and do not back away slowly or commence eye rolling when the photo album or home videos come out

Including your general location on your profile will assist others. Location, climate, season etc can be important factors when members are responding to any questions you may have and vice versa.
