Hello! I am a chicken owner with a current flock of 10 chickens and 2 ducks, I started 1 year ago with my oldest chickens now 1 years old. Good layers, I live in a rural desert environment which has been challenging when summer hits 116 to 120, I try to keep a low budget flock and have the concept of keeping birds until they are done laying then using for meat. They are not free range but I let them out as much as I can to let them stretch their wings so to speak. I am learning and doing my best to keep the birds healthy and happy. Signed up to asknparticular questions regarding chickens in the flock.

and Welcome to Backyard Chickens.
to have you here with us. Enjoy your time here at BYC!
