Thanks to Lynsey and Gregg Malone for sending in these photos of their family.

"We've really enjoyed your newsletters and website. We turned the shed my husband built into a hen house when we got our first round of chicks and ducks last March. Now we've expanded our group to 13 hens, 1 rooster, 6 guinnea hens and 6 ducks. Hopefully next year we'll get some babies! We're trying for ducklings right now, but so far no luck. Our hens are only 7 months old so they've just started laying, but none are broody. Wish us luck and thanks for the great site!"
