Official BYC Poll: What Poultry Are You Currently Raising?

[Amateur-chicken-mama]

We took the route that most people don’t- we started with ducks and guinea fowl, and then moved on to chickens.

For a lot of people, having just chickens just isn't enough. Most start off with chickens, then start getting into other, bigger (or smaller), types of poultry. Chickens are amazing, versatile, and generally get along just fine with other poultry.

So in this poll we're interested in finding out: What Poultry Are You Currently Raising?

Feel free to share your experiences and show off your poultry pictures in the comments section.

By the way if you're thinking of introducing other poultry or livestock to your chickens, here are some good articles for further reading:

Beginner Chicken mom. We have 5 hens - 2 Brahmas - our first chicks now 1 year old, 2 Golden Wyandottes we got as chicks last May and 1 RI Red/Leghorn cross we got at laying age. She has laid practically every day since June, she's a little machine!
I'd like to add a couple more adult hens. I'm a sucker for the grown chicks, left overs that didn't sell as babies. Our feed store keeps them up front where I always have to walk past those lonely girls & boys needing a nice run to play in.

I have chickens and recently added two budgies!

Chickens and Ducks. I'm hoping to add Geese in the Spring

Chickens and Ducks right now. When we move, I'll be adding 2 female goslings, a few turkeys (for my older brother to raise himself), and either Quail or Guinea Fowl.

Chickens and ducks. Thinking about adding a couple ducks and a goose in the spring

 

[Xouie]

Yup, nobody here but us chickens!

I don't see myself getting any other birds besides more chickens. Spring fever and chicken math are gonna hit me in February. When TSC starts having chick days... tie me down.

Wait.... chick days? I’m almost afraid to ask what that is.

Started with ducks in eggs, bought chicks soon after they hatched.

Looked for turkeys all year this year with no luck. Bought turkey eggs which rotted in the mail and was meanwhile given guinea keets.

So want a few turkeys! Blue slate... sweetgrass... Narragansett maybe. Hopefully next year.

 

[Hayden Goseek]

Hurray, I got the first egg in a week.

Chickens, ducks, and parakeets!
