newish chicky momma

[kbarnes]

Hello everyone. I am a newish chicken momma, I was raised around farms and chickens when I was young but its my first time getting a flock of my own. I have 46 chicks and 2 ducks. Half are being raised for meat and the other for eggs but I have gotten a couple that are going to just be pets. My flock consists of these breeds:
Barred rocks
Easter eggers
White and brown leghorns
Cochin
Bramas
Wyandottes
Polish
And a breeding pair of spitzhaubens
Pair of breeding Pekin ducks.
I'm happy to join this site since I don't have anyone close who shares my love of these cute little chickadees.

Welcome to BYC!

Sounds like you have a wonderful flock!! If you are looking for some nearby chicken friends, you might stop by your state thread to talk to your chicken neighbors. Maybe one of them lives nearby. Scroll thru this link to find your state thread...

Welcome to the flock. You sure do have chickens. Hope you can find some chicken loving neighbors to have as friends. It's great when others share the same interests, and maybe can swap chicken sitting duties when vacations are calling.

Welcome to BYC! That's quite a nice size flock you have. My children used to make pets of our Cochins and Brahmas. Good luck with your flock.
