Thrown into the deep end!

[FloodFarms]

Hello everyone. My father recently passed away unexpectedly & I now have a chicken coop to finish building and A LOT of birds that I have no idea how to take care of ... Ducks, Geese, hens, chickens ... all of which roam freely (no fencing that's truly completed). I will be looking to sell/swap the ducks & geese locally (Spartanburg, SC area - kinda) for chickens possibly. Really not sure where to go, what to do, or HOW when it comes to this ... taking care of them, selling/swapping them, fencing, coops, feed, the eggs ... I will need a lot of guidance & patience, please! LOL
