Second Attempt at chicken keeping

[Charb198589]

This is my 2nd attempt at chicken keeping after losing all of my 1st flock to predators years ago. I’m in suburban NJ and retired so I’ve got time to devote to it. I’ve got a mix of Rhode Island Reds, Barred Rock and Black Sex Link (per Tractor Supply) and 6 Pekin ducks which are already the size of velociraptors.

Welcome to BYC, and good luck protecting your flock. The predators are still there.
