Thank you for your introduction, it was a pleasure to read about your journey into ducks and chickens. Ducks are soooo adorable, I hope to have some one day (they're too messy for city life).
Your ducks are adorable, from what I can see glad to have you with us. Take your time to learn how to navigate the forums, it took me awhile to learn. Best of luck!

Glad to meet you. What a wonderful introduction! I laughed out loud at your husband's teasing you about the ducks' names. Then he turns around and gets all those chicks. Has he named them? Just wondering.

Greetings from another former lurker. Best wishes with the ducks and your husband's chickens, and all your plans. And condolences to that Maine coon cat.

I've actually named more chicks than he has. And believe it or not they're not just "Whitey' or "Red".
Yeah, poor Ralph the cat. He is just a little spoiled. He actually went out again yesterday and I didn't go to watch what happened. He can get from the spare room out the doggie door into the enclosure so hopefully the chickens won't figure out how to get in through the doggie door.it takes some maneuvering but I have a feeling it's just a matter of time before I end up with a chicken in there, I'll fix that problem when it happens I guess.

I always thought of Maine Coon cats as being hard to intimidate. I guess with a whole flock, it's a different dynamic. Poor Ralph. Nobody likes change, and especially getting booted from their solo star position.

I am tickled about the naming. Good for you! Have a good time.
