(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I would consider myself new to chickens. Some 30 years ago with my ex who was a farmer; we had chickens but at the time I worked full time and so all i did run to the barn and feed them in the mornings and cleaning the pen didnt like it much. I have always been more partial to ducks.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now? we started out with 6 red pullets and 6 I am not sure what they are, we got them at tractor supply and they said Americaunas (sp) but they do not look like them and 6 mallard ducks. We have 3 pullets and one Americaunas (if that is what they are) rooster and one brown hen
(4) How did you find out about BackYardChickens.com? googling all the questions i had.
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share. I am a housewife, and mother of a blind son who is recovering from brain surgery, and has Physical Therapy 2 times a week. before that i assisted him while he was going to college. He is 3 semesters away from his degree and hoping after he gets his training and gets a guide dog he will finish school and live on his own. We also have 2 Schnauzers and a mix breed pup who keeps me busy.
