When they go in their coop at night, they splash the water everywhere in the coop and I am afraid that they are going to rot the coop floor out of the chicken coop! Then it freezes and they chickens get hurt jumping down from the roost - I probably have a dozen chickens limping right now!
Thinking Barred Rock, White Leghorn, Salmon Favorelle, New Hampshire Red, Buff Brahma, and Easter Egger! Still not really sure if I'm getting the ducks yet. They make such a mess!
I love it! I have 3 Jumbo Pekin Ducks that I will be butching soon. I got them at Tractor Supply and thought I was getting Pekins for laying but I guess not. I am ordering some laying ducklings and a dozen chicks from Meyer Hatchery this year. The rest I am hatching from my incubator!
