Hopefully this is the right place for this thread.
We have a flock of nine chickens we got last Summer and love. I want to get a few new birds this year but can't decide which type to go with. A lot of posts I see about adding chickens to a flock ask something like "are you absolutely sure you want to add new chickens" and warn about the pecking order and issues that can occur. Would it really be that bad for a few new comers that it wouldn't be worth doing?
And if not chickens then what? Turkeys? Ducks? Geese? If we got turkeys they'd be for meat (likely for holidays). Thanks for your input!
