(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? we had a set of chickens in the past but lost them to unknown predator. We now have 12 chicks that we have raised and just put them in their own "Big house" last night....then I HAD to bring home 4 Ducklings as they were irresistible.

(2) How many chickens do you have right now? 12 chicks

(3) What breeds do you have?
Variety- Americuna, Pascedena? and Barred rock.

(4) How did you find out about BackYardChickens.com?
wanted to google natural antibiotics for chickens and ducks and found this awesome website, complete with great recipes I hope to try and have some of my own I cant wait to share.

(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
Preserving, cooking and any activities with my five grandboys, some sewing as well.

(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
My husband is large scale landscaping, clearing, hauling and grading. I am a Family nurse Practitioner. We have 2 daughters and 5 wonderful grandboys.

I hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun.

BYC has Topic of the Week discussions which I have found to be a great resource, informative and sometimes entertaining; so definitely worth checking out. There are some down the bottom of the page which are duck specific. This one may also be of particular interest:
Topic of the Week - Keeping the Flock Safe from Predators

If you would like to share Pictures and Stories of your flock, you have come to the right place. BYC’ers never tire of these and do not back away slowly or commence eye rolling when the photo album or home videos come out ;)

Including your general location on your profile will assist others. Location, climate, season etc can be important factors when members are responding to any questions you may have and vice versa.

You might want to also Find Your State Thread and pop in and say hello.
