[count duckula]

This is my first post on backyard chicken. I have just got a few ducks about 8 week ago. We have a large pond in the backyard. We hope to release them in the pond. When they are older. I have brought home some quail, and now I have just got some pheasants. Not sure what i will bring home next, many some silkies. If I keep bring home birds my wife is going to kill me. This web site is great lots of info. Thanks

Yeah, my poor husband. "Honey lets just get 4 hens, for a few eggs, just for us" has turned into a MAJOR addiction. Let me count....hmmm....yeah, we are up to 58 individual birds, in about half a year. LOL. I love it though, and so does he. We already have egg buyers lined up and pre-orders for meat birds in the fall, people who want us to hatch out chicks for them, and some who have even promised to buy ducklings when we get around to hatching some from our layers. Oh, and I am working on getting duck egg buyers lined up as well. I am a stay at home mom, and to me, it is like "Yay, I finially have a job that I can do with my kids!" Who knows when we will actually break even though.

Congratulations on your new found addiction, this is a great place to cruise for info.
