Hi I am new to BYC. I always need help and decided it is time to join!
I have had chickens from 3 years now, best decision of my life. I started with 6 RIR and then was given two ducks from someone who lived in town, fell in love with the ducks. One year ago a mink broke in and took out my first flock. I am still sad about it. All my RIR and my two beloved ducks. I had had them for a year at that point. So a year ago I added 6 more ducks-4 silver appleyards, two rouen ducks, 6 barred rocks, 5 random from a class that hatched them. I added 12 red sex links last fall. I also have 5 new buff orpington chicks that are 6 weeks old, 3 turkeys. In the basement I have 6 ducklings and 3 geese. One month ago added 2 piglets-half tamworth and half red wattle. They are fun, the ducks do not like them at all.
Basically I have become a lover of all poultry and pigs and spring is always a good time to add to the coop! Since it is my third year I have a ton of questions and looking forward to joining!
