New to Chickens & Ducks

[green-acres]

1. Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
   1. We got our first two chickens, fairly grown, from a local farm in mid July.
   2. We bought 5 baby chicks from Tractor Supply in late July, early August.
   3. We bought 3 ducklings from Tractor Supply in about a week ago.
2. How many chickens do you have right now?
   1. 7 chickens. I believe all are hens. None are laying yet.
   2. 3 ducklings, too young to know the sex.
   3. Once we find more land (outside of town), I’d like to get peafowl as well.
3. What breeds do you have?
   1. I’m not sure. I believe I have 2 Buff Orpingtons, a Black Australorp, and a Rhode Island Red. I also have two that I was told are some sort of Bantam.
4. What are some of your other hobbies?
   1. Software Engineering, Gardening, Cycling
