Unexpected Chicken Mama

[Poodlemum]

Hi from Utah! I’m a country girl that’s been living happily in a small city. We’d planned on getting a flock of bug munchers when we finally got our own home, but life happened. My sister rescued a wee duckling this summer and we took it in, but it was so lonely… Due to lack of available ducklings, we went to get a chick. Of course 5 girls can’t just have one, so four little friends came home with us Now we’ve got another batch hopefully arriving safely tomorrow since TSC told us the wrong breed. Oops lol. Now we have a standard poodle, a tortoise, a duck, 4 teenage chickens!

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Hopefully the duckling doesn't turn out to be a drake. Drakes can and do kill chicken hens by mating them.
