I really love your coop! Beautiful!

Super cute! Enjoy you little chickies!

Enjoy your time here!

Thanks for the advice everyone. I think we will get some Rouens for sure and maybe some Pekins as well just because they are good egg layers. They all seem to have positives and negatives so it makes it a tough choice.

We are hoping to get a few backyard ducks. Our options are Pekin, Rouen and Muscovy. In the area I live there isn't much available to be shipped or otherwise. I am wondering what people suggest as being the best breed for the backyard flock. We are wanting decent egg layers and foragers as...

Congratulations! They are adorable. Enjoy.
