In 2016 I held my very first chicken and it has been love ever since. I immediately went in search of my own chickens. I found my first 5. Not knowing anything about straight run I was quite surprise to find out that I had 4 roosters and 1 hen. I then learned that roosters need a minimum of 6 hens per rooster in order to not fight. This is how it all began. Oh did I forget to tell you that my husb
and and I really don`t eat many eggs. From there I bought 2 ducks they were supposed to be Cayugas but one was a Khaki Campbell so I had to buy 2 more ducks so they could have a same breed mate. From there the addiction grow to now 15 ducks, 20 chickens, 2 peacocks, 3 dogs, one rabbit, 3 love birds and a pot belly pig. All of my animals are my pets and I don`t raise animals for meat although I have thought about raising meat chickens. We will see what the future holds. I am going to start hatching ducks, chickens and love birds in the spring. If you are interested please message me. If you are a teacher and would like to teach your children I can provide you with fertile eggs and if you wish I can take the ducks back once your experiment is complete. I also see duck eggs for $6 per dozen and brown eggs for $4 per dozen.
