Chickens
The chickens are my favorite animals on the farm. We have over 10 different breeds, that we just keep for pets and eggs. We sell a small amount of our surplus eggs to neighbors and locals.

Ducks
We have 2 Pekin ducks that were dropped off by a good samaritan. A family purchased the ducks for easter thinking they would stay small but as they got bigger and messier they decided to take the pet ducks to a local park and leave them. The park geese were very upset these 2 ducks were invading their territory and started attacking them. The good samaritan watching all this take place quickly went to the rescue of the ducks and the ran to her gladly, she put them in her car and then desperately started calling local "farms" after a few "No's" she drove to our place. I was outside feeding the chickens and she asked if I would take them. Of course we couldn't say no. So, we have 2 ducks who are very happy living with all the chickens.
