I joined to learn more about raising chickens after agreeing to brood my son's 25 chicks in my basement. The chicks have moved on. They have been replaced by 10 Appleyard and 4 Muscovy ducklings as well as 9 goslings. Having fun at age 76. I gave the Appleyards there first swim in a Rubbermaid tote yesterday and they are now in love with me!
