I'm now thirteen years into owning poultry, and I'm loving every minute of it. I joined BYC in 2012 when I got my first ducklings from a feed store. Prior to joining, I had owned a pair of drakes for five years. After getting the ducklings, chicks quickly followed, and now I have quite the menagerie of poultry, including ducks, geese, chickens, turkeys, pigeons, and emus.
I also incubate and hatch eggs nearly constantly in the warm months, and it's my favorite part of owning poultry. I have hatched probably thousands of baby birds.
I also own other animals too. I have two cats, two cockatiels, a bearded dragon, and a betta fish.
