New here, chickens for 3 years & duck & goose newbie

[Kmb8307]

1. I have had chickens for 3 years and love having them! So much so, that I added to my flock! I also got ducks and geese this year and have enjoyed them immensely!
2. I have 17 chickens, 4 ducks & 2 geese.
   
3. I have a mixture of chickens, rhode island reds, silver laced, barred rock, easter eggers and some mixed breeds that I hatched this year. I also have 1 mallard duck, 1 Cayuga duck, 1 pekin, 1 Chinese crested and 2 Toulouse geese.
   
4. I learned about back yard chickens when I was researching how to incubate eggs
5. I LOVE to read, craft and work on my 100+ year old house. I also enjoy photography
6. I am a stay at home mom to 5 kids ages 10, 7, 5, 5 & 2. My husband brings home the bacon while I maintain the kids, home and flock! We also have 2 dogs & 2 farm cats.
