New to Pekins and Chickens

[Jharris3]

Good morning everyone,

I am brand new at raising Pekins and chickens. Got my first chickens
(11 Straight run) the last week in April and then May 2 got 4 Pekins.

I had nooo clue what straight run meant. lol ended up with 3 roosters and having to give one away to a friend who had lots and lots of hens. So now I have 8 hens 1 super aggressive rooster. As for my sweet duckies I also was clueless when I bought them.. I have 1 Pekin hen and 3 drakes.. I'm trying to find 2 more hens to even things out.

So as u can see I am definitely learning. I've been very fortunate
Thanks to backyard chickens. I love this site and alllll the great info

Never a good reason to keep a bad roo. If he is aggressive to the flock & humans, he needs to be invited to dinner as the main course.
