[Idaho Chicken Bungalow]

Hi everyone! I’m a new duck and chicken mom and knew almost nothing about them when they arrived at 2 days old. I now have 5 ducks (both black and blue Swedish, Silver Appleyard, Rouen, and a Welsh Harlequin) and 7 chickens plus 1 rooster (Cream Legbar, Bantam Mottled Cochin, Bantam Mille Fleur Bearded d’Uccle, Green Queen, Easter Egger, Bantam Porcelain Belgian Bearded d’Uccle, Lavender Ameraucana, and my roo is a Jubilee Orpington). My ducks are 2 and 3 months old, chickens 2 months old.
Looking forward to meeting some of y’all and learning how to be a good bird mom!
Here are pics of a few of my babies.

Watch for photo contests. You have some great photos to enter!

Welcome to BYC!! Your pictures (Not to mention your fowl!) are so pretty! You aught to put some in the photography contest!

Wow I am bad at replying…lol
I’m so sorry….I have 25 animals and am disabled, and my husband ran off on me a month ago, leaving me to scramble to find a way to care for our ranch alone. So time has been tight and stress levels high

But thank you very much! There’s a photography contest? I just snapped some cute fall pics of the ducks yesterday!

Oh, I’m very sorry to hear that, never mind the late reply. I hope you’re doing better around the farm soon.

I’ll get some links to the contests!

Welcome!
What kind of dog is that I see? Is it a mastiff?

Oh lol that’s Tiger. He wants to be with the “babies” (literally any small animal) so bad, but I worry he’ll hurt them unintentionally. He’s a Boxer/Mastiff/Pitbull/St Bernard, according to his dna test!

Wow! You have had yourself a tough fall. Here is hoping things get better from here! Stay in touch when you can!
