You’ve been keeping chickens for awhile and now you think you’d like to try some ducks. Cool! That’s what I did! But you need to know from the get-go that ducks are not chickens. Here are some of the differences I discovered in my first few months of keeping ducks.
Hi! I’m Randy and this is my chicken blog. I write it, edit it, take the pictures, feed the chickens, hug the chickens, etc. I blog because a few years ago, I got these chickens…I had no idea when I got my first chickens that I would become so immersed in all things chicken! They do that to you! So follow along as I explore - chickens, chicken care, chicken behavior, chicken diseases, chicken coops, chicken books, and, well, you get it!
There are a few facts that I hope to get across to anybody who regularly reads my blog:
1. My chickens are really cool.
2. All chickens are really cool.
3. The majority of chickens being raised for meat or egg production, in spite of their inherent coolness, are treated cruelly. You can help make changes by your purchasing habits. Educate yourself! Read labels! Check company websites!
4. If you have the means and desire to keep some chickens, go for it!
